Mission Statement
COCO (Comrades of Children Overseas) is an international children’s charity, based in Newcastle upon Tyne. COCO works with communities in rural areas of East Africa on projects that provide children with access to the education that is essential for a good start in life.
About This Cause
COCO was founded by Steve Cram CBE and British Army Major Jim Panton in 2000. Since then, the charity has raised over £5 million to fund small, sustainable, community led initiatives. COCO and its partners have now undertaken 60 transformational projects in 16 countries, positively impacting the lives of over 200,000 people. COCO is currently operating in Kenya and Tanzania, removing barriers to education in remote, rural areas. By supporting communities to establish self-sustaining schools that offer quality education, COCO empowers people to break the cycle of poverty for themselves and access truly sustainable methods to improve their lives and those of their children. Currently COCO is partnering with schools, community centres and local African NGOs to provide education, agriculture training and infrastructure necessary for good quality learning. Every child, everywhere should be able to dream of a brighter future!
