OUR MISSION: Creating Opportunity
We seek to end poverty in Africa by providing the tools to break out of it.

Current Initiatives
COFA provides the people of Africa with programs that provide education, healthcare, housing, employment and orphan care. While we are engaged in a wide range of activities in Africa, the three programs below represent our greatest need for funding at this time.
Ntombizimele hosted a “Menstrual Hygiene Day” on May 8th. There were 148 participants representing seven different schools, and seven different stakeholders. Click the image to read Maureen Nyaka’s report and see photos of the event. We can support this ministry through prayers and financial support. To support one girl for a year - it takes $13. Our GOAL is to provide for 300 girls so they can stay in school and support their dignity. Use the “Donate” button above and write a comment noting “Ntombizimele” to direct support to this amazing ministry.
