WHO WE ARE

Lifting People Out of the Poverty of Mind and Body

KOFA is a foundation seeking to lift less privileged people and communities out of the poverty of the mind and body by bridging the knowledge gap through educational support and enhancing the standard of living through financial and skill development resources.

We believe that every person deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and achieve their full potential — and that lasting change starts with knowledge, dignity and opportunity.

OUR STORY

The Journey to Free the Mind

The journey to free the soul from mental poverty and lift people from the forms of slavery to systems that hold them bound is a deliberate, conscious effort to return power to the people by removing the strings that keep them tied to their oppressors.

We break the chain of ignorance and poverty through educational empowerment, skill acquisition and socio-cultural emancipation — ultimately raising the standard of life and living by making people self-reliant and progressive.

Be part of the movement to set the mind free from all forms of impoverishment. Be part of KOFA — Lifting People, Changing Lives!
