Our Impactful Projects
At Coz Foundation, we are committed to driving sustainable development and positive change across Africa. Through our carefully curated portfolio of strategic initiatives, we are empowering communities, improving lives, and creating a brighter future for the continent. Here are some of our key projects:
Rising Scholars Initiative
- Education -
This project aims to transform the educational landscape in rural Kenya by building state-of-the-art libraries and providing scholarships to underprivileged students. Access to quality educational resources is a major challenge in many parts of Kenya, leading to low literacy rates and limited academic opportunities. By establishing these libraries and scholarship programs, we are fostering a love for learning, improving literacy, and empowering students to break the cycle of poverty through education.

Healthy Mothers, Healthy Futures
- Healthcare -
This initiative addresses the critical issue of maternal health in Nigeria, where the maternal mortality rate is alarmingly high, especially in rural areas due to inadequate healthcare services. By providing prenatal and postnatal care facilities, as well as mobile health clinics, we aim to ensure that mothers and their babies receive the comprehensive care they need. This project will not only reduce maternal and infant mortality rates but also promote overall community health and well-being.

Clean Water for All
- Clean Water Access -
In Ethiopia, access to clean drinking water is a significant challenge, particularly in rural areas, leading to the prevalence of waterborne diseases. This project involves installing solar-powered water purification systems and constructing wells to provide reliable access to clean water for remote villages. By addressing this critical need, we aim to improve health outcomes, reduce the burden of waterborne illnesses, and enhance the overall quality of life for these communities.

Women Entrepreneurs Fund
- Economic Empowerment -
In Ghana, women play a vital role in the economy, yet they often lack access to financial resources and business support. This project offers microloans, business training, and mentorship programs to empower women entrepreneurs in urban and rural communities. By providing these critical resources, we aim to foster economic independence, support the growth of women-owned businesses, and contribute to the overall development of local communities.

Sustainable Farming Initiative
- Agriculture -
Agriculture is the backbone of Uganda's economy, but many small-scale farmers struggle with outdated farming practices and low crop yields. This initiative provides access to modern farming techniques, high-quality seeds, and sustainable irrigation solutions to help farmers increase their productivity and promote food security. By empowering these farming communities, we aim to drive sustainable agricultural development and improve livelihoods across the region.

Future Leaders Academy
- Youth Development -
South Africa faces significant youth unemployment and a need for effective leadership development programs. The Future Leaders Academy addresses this challenge by offering high school and university students access to leadership training, career counseling, and internship opportunities. By investing in the next generation of leaders, we aim to unlock their potential, bridge the skills gap, and inspire positive change in the country.

Solar Villages Project
-Renewable Energy -
Many rural communities in Tanzania lack access to reliable electricity, hindering their development and quality of life. This project involves installing solar panels and training locals in maintenance to provide sustainable power solutions to these off-grid areas. By bringing clean, affordable energy to these villages, we aim to improve living standards, support economic activities, and pave the way for long-term, community-driven development.

Tech Hubs for Development
- Technology & Innovation -
Senegal has a growing youth population eager to explore opportunities in the tech industry, but a lack of sufficient training facilities hinders their progress. This initiative creates innovation centers equipped with the latest technology and provides young adults with training in digital skills, coding, and entrepreneurship. By fostering innovation and digital literacy, we aim to create new job opportunities and support the digital transformation of the local economy.
