Summary

COCE aims to build a community library that provides space to enrich, empower, and educate children from Nangina and surrounding villages in Busia County, Kenya. There are 10 primary schools in this area and no library available to support their learning. With the help of donors like you, we can change lives in these communities through the education that these children experience.

Challenge

In southern Busia County, Kenya, 100 primary schools have no libraries, leaving children without books, technology, or a space to learn. This project is more than a library-it's a lifeline: a hub for education, health, and opportunity. It will empower students, equip communities, and break the cycle of poverty. Without access, dreams fade-your support can change that. Help us build a future where learning thrives. Donate today and transform lives.

Solution

This library will be a beacon of hope, providing children with books, study space, and life-changing educational programs. It will serve as a central hub where students from surrounding communities can access tutoring, learning resources, and the support they need to break barriers and achieve their dreams. By empowering young minds with knowledge, we are not just educating-we are transforming futures. This is more than a library; it's a gateway to opportunity.

Long-Term Impact

COCE's community library will be more than a building-it will be a catalyst for lasting change. By providing books, educational materials, and transformative programs, it will ignite a culture of literacy, empowerment, and possibility. Generations of children and community members will gain the knowledge and tools they need to lead healthier, more successful lives. This library ensures that no child in rural Kenya is left behind-because every mind deserves the chance to shine.
