In rural Kenya, primary school completion falls below 58.2% for the poorest children. COCO and Niaver CBO support vulnerable families by bridging gaps in education and opportunity. With your support, we'll build a two-classroom block so more children can learn and build brighter futures.

Children shape what comes next. 75% of Kenya’s population is under 35, the future of entire communities depends on whether children can access education today. Yet in Bwayi, children are still missing school because they cannot afford transport, are forced to walk relentless and dangerous routes, or arrive exhausted and unable to learn in overcrowded classrooms. When children miss out on education, they miss out on opportunity, and the cycle of poverty continues.

It all starts with a seat in the classroom. With your support, COCO will build a two-room classroom block, giving children a safe place to learn close to home. More than a building, it will protect potential by removing barriers like distance, danger and poverty. This Christmas, you'll help children stay in school, unlock their potential and create brighter futures for generations to come.
