Our Goals
At Lewoco, our mission is rooted in empowering women and fostering sustainable livelihoods. With a rich history spanning over 35 years, we have been working closely with Machakos Cooperative Union to market the handwoven baskets created by our dedicated members on an international scale. Our primary objectives are clear and resolute:
Empower and Support Our Members
We are committed to providing our more than 3000 women members, spread across 28 women groups, with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to improve their income and enhance their livelihoods through the marketing of their handwoven baskets. We strive to create an environment where their skills and talents flourish, leading to economic self-sufficiency and personal growth.
Expand Our Reach and Impact
While our core membership is essential, we also aspire to have a broader impact. We aim to work indirectly with 15,000 beneficiaries in the surrounding communities, creating a ripple effect of positive change. By extending our support and initiatives to these individuals, we hope to uplift entire families and communities, ultimately contributing to the well-being of society as a whole.
With these goals in mind, we are driven to continue our journey of empowerment and transformation, embracing the values of inclusivity, sustainability, and progress as we work towards a brighter future for all.
