Meet the Partners
COCO only ever helps to develop community owned and community operated schools. To make sure schools are developed with the community at their core we work with local partner organisations.


Niaver was founded in 2013 by Isaac Lidaywa and four other community members. Niaver means 'hope' in the local language of Luhya, to represent the organisation's aim of bringing hope to the local community of Bwayi, a village close to Kitale in Western Kenya.
Isaac was motivated to start Niaver due to the extreme poverty in his local area. There is high prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Bwayi, with government statistics suggesting that approximately 18% of local people are HIV positive.

Established in 2012, LESCOTA was co-founded by Maurus Nchimbi and two other community members, and is based in Mbinga, Southern Tanzania, the most densely populated district in the region.
​
LESCOTA works to strengthen the well-being of rural communities by improving health and sanitation, providing greater access to education, and advancing sustainable agricultural practices.
