The Hoja Project was set up as a UK registered charity in 2005 and since 2013 has now run under the charity registration of COCO (Comrades Of Children Overseas). COCO has supported Hoja since the very early days, so this represents no real change in the day-to-day operation of Hoja.

COCO's webpage on Hoja can be found here, and they regularly produce news on all their projects. This blog is updated on a volunteer basis, so new posts tend to be every few months.

Tailoring Students benefitting from Hoja's Vocational Training Centre


I just received an email from Oswin containing only this picture. At the recent UK volunteers' meeting on Sunday 1st March, we all learnt that the VTC was already open for booklearning, and that practical classes would begin in two weeks.

The VTC is an opportunity for local students who don't have a place at secondary school, to learn a trade or skills from which they can earn a living.

I'm happy to see that in the last week or so the VTC has indeed got up and running properly, as shown in this picture of students studying tailoring.

Great news.
