Inclusive development starts with people who know their communities.
DORA Inclusive Organization is a Mityana-based nonprofit Community-Based Organisation working with women, youth, children and Persons with Disabilities through climate-smart livelihoods, clean energy, environmental action, education and community empowerment.
Started in 2019. Registered as a CBO in 2026.
DORA began at village level and grew through community trust, practical learning, peer referral and partnerships with local leaders. Today the organisation works across Mityana District.
The work is rooted in a simple belief: communities already have knowledge and ideas. With the right skills, tools and opportunities, people can lead solutions that fit their own lives.
Resilient, self-reliant communities where everyone, especially vulnerable people, can enjoy their rights, dream and thrive with dignity.
Build inclusive communities rooted in equity and respect, where every voice is heard and everyone has equal opportunities.
Community-led. Practical. Inclusive from the start.
DORA equips people rather than dictating solutions.
Community-led development
Communities identify challenges and participate in designing responses.
Train-the-trainer
A trained participant can share practical knowledge with at least ten neighbouring households.
Demonstration learning
People learn by seeing real briquette-making and farming practices in action.
Inclusion first
Adaptive tools, accessible sessions and peer mentors support meaningful participation.
