Cooperation for Children is a Geneva-based non-profit organization committed to promoting the educational rights of children around the world.
Founded in accordance with the Swiss Civil Code, we are politically neutral, non-religious, and dedicated to long-term impact through collaboration and advocacy.
At our core, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive in a safe and supportive environment.
That’s why we work tirelessly to:
Foster partnerships to advance children’s rights and access to quality education.
Empower local actors to design and implement sustainable educational solutions.
Mobilize resources in Switzerland to fund educational projects.
Promote collaboration on educational projects and learning initiatives.
Develop and oversee impactful projects that empower children through knowledge.
Support complementary initiatives that align with our mission.
Our initiatives are not imported or top-down, but rather co-created with local actors, ensuring cultural relevance, sustainability, and real impact. Before any project begins, our team works closely with grassroots partners to understand the specific challenges faced by children in their communities.
By empowering local leadership and listening first, we ensure that each program is rooted in local realities, while benefiting from the strategic support, resources, and visibility we can provide internationally. This model helps us create solutions that last, because they belong first and foremost to the communities we serve.
We operate with full transparency and without the pursuit of profit. Every donation, partnership, and activity directly supports our non-profit goals and the well-being of children.
Our leadership is composed of dedicated volunteers who manage the organization’s activities and strategic direction. While our General Assembly shapes the association’s future, our committee ensures that everyday operations are aligned with our mission and values.
Currently, our work is rooted in Ondo State, Nigeria, where we cover almost the entire state through our presence in five Local Government Areas:
We are committed to expanding our impact across Nigeria, and, in time, to other countries around the world.
Every child, no matter where they are born, deserves the chance to go to school, to dream, and to build a brighter future.
