About Us
Community Organisation for Oppressed and Depressed Upliftment (Coodu – which in Tamil denotes “nest”), was initiated in 1995 by a group of Research Scholars in their early years of social work. The Organisation actually began as an answer to the thousands of street children and juvenile delinquents in the state’s rapidly growing cities. Studying their poor socio-economic conditions and providing insights to planners and policy makers through various forums, workshops and seminars paved the way for establishment of Coodu.
Vision
“Empower the oppressed and marginalized sections of the society thereby providing them with long-term avenues for growth and socio-economic development.”
Mission
Fight relentlessly for the cause of the oppressed and the poorest of the poor in society ensuring that they get their due share and enhance their quality of life. Adopt participatory, gender-based and rights-based approaches in seeking to identify and solving the problems of the marginalised and weakest sections, especially women.
