Scholarship

​

Education is one of the fundamental rights of an individual. Limited access to education therefore means many are stuck in a cycle of poverty and this could later result in activities like; deforestation and charcoal burning which degrade the environment leading to climate change.

There are many vulnerable communities in CONGO  that have had little access to education.

 

We, therefore, partner with well-wishers to provide carrier guidance, school fees, scholastic materials, Sanitary towels, and other needs to the vulnerable children in Congo

​

CO.CO.PE supports vulnerable children boys and girls to education through paying school fees, Scholastic materials, Mattresses, and Uniforms among others.

 

Entrepreneurship Training

Our mission is to end extreme poverty by lifting up a new generation of entrepreneurs. Our ready-to-deliver entrepreneurial training program builds confidence and provides practical business skills to the target population.

​

​

Talent Development Scholarship 

 

aims to encourage and support the development of non-academic talents of underprivileged secondary students. Talents to be supported include music, performing arts, arts, designs, and sports. Scholarship recipients are encouraged to make use of their talents to serve the community.

Due to financial burden and culture, Mpasa girls usually get married at a very young age and most drop out of school before completing primary education.

 

To encourage parents to support the schooling of their daughters, in 2020,

Coalition for the Congolese  People launched the Education Support Program to subsidize Mpasa mine girls aged 8 to 16 continuing their studies. Through better education, girls are empowered to change their destinies and seize a better future.

YOUR SUPPORT CAN GIVE A CHILD GROWING IN POVERTY

​

As the pandemic spread throughout the world, we worked to ensure children’s routine health care was not disrupted. We trained and equipped health workers to deal with new challenges. We also found innovative ways to provide families with knowledge and resources to keep safe from COVID-19 and slow its spread. 2020 was one of the worst years, over the past couple of decades. The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented upheaval – magnifying the hardships of millions of rural communities who were already struggling. The pandemic also deepened and made our work for vulnerable people more urgently needed than ever.

Rural poverty in  Congo is an emergency. The poorest families experience higher rates of poverty in Congo and are struggling the most. Children who grow up in poverty are more likely to have certain underlying health conditions. The poorest children also tend to have the fewest learning materials at home and experience higher rates that, why we support them

Your support today can give a child growing up in poverty in Congo the opportunity for a brighter future,  through your monthly donation.
