CoWA started its activities in 1987 as a non-profit association of teachers, youth and volunteers working mainly in collaboration with AVSI (an Italian NGO) and St. Kizito Vocational Training Institute. It was realized that many students of St. Kizito Institute, after completing the vocational training, were not getting jobs and after a while they would lose their skills. To answer to this need CoWA assisted the students get internships and later jobs in a few companies. Also to widen the scope of getting livelihood entrepreneurship was offered as an option to the youth. This need was found also among other students from other institutions.On the other hand employers were noted to have a difficulty in finding credible workers as the market was flooded with job seekers of various qualifications. Hence the need to assist them choose from the large pool of job seekers. In 2000 it was registered as an NGO.
