The Community Transformation Programme is operated by the Child to Family Community Development Organisation, CHIFCOD, a non-governmental, not for profit, organisation incorporated and located in Uganda.
CHIFCOD works with grassroots communities to problems of bringing up healthy children, educating them in good schools at primary, secondary and college level and providing job creation opportunities through micro-finance programmes.
It has established six educational institutions in south-western Uganda, a community health programme and a micro finance cooperative for adults as well as a youth cooperative through which young school leavers who need money to establish themselves in the community or go further in their studies can access low interest loans.
