We remove material barriers to education

We believe that health and nutrition are two of the main obstacles that prevent children from performing in school.

Most children that CODEWA
supports

1) do not have access to drinkable water and safe toilets

2) have 1 meal per day on average

Therefore

> They tend to be weaker and more exposed to diseases 

> They are often hungry while at school and cannot fully focus

> Some of them suffer from growth stunting

What we do

To make sure that children are not left alone if they fall sick, we provide them with health insurances and bring them to hospital when needed. To prevent diseases, we also engage with local communities and share good hygiene practices. Safe hand washing has been a key element that we have taught for years to our children. They now all know how to wash their hands properly and to build safe hand washing facilities.

Emergency call: with the recent Covid-19 outbreak, we have launched a campaign to provide vulnerable families with soap.

To ensure that every child can go to school and make the most of his potential, we provide them with highly nutritive porridge. To reduce costs and reach more children, we have launched a social enterprise. More precisely, we have set up a milling business so we can buy our raw elements straight from farmers and grind them for the children. It also helps us to generate profit to cover our fixed costs.
