Mission
COCI helps at-risk children, focusing on programs that help vulnerable survive and thrive. Our signature program, No More Victims, addresses the physical, emotional, academic and social needs of children of incarcerated parents in Houston. We also fund international programs in Mexico, Bosnia, Kenya and Haiti.
About
Mission: Partnering to create sustainable solutions for the worlds most vulnerable children. COCI has a 25-year history of identifying international programs that offer innovative, caring solutions that have a lasting impact on children and where support from COCI promises to help the programs establish themselves, grow and, at the appropriate time, become independent of COCI support. Examples: In Bosnia, COCI funds a kindergarten in a rural area that allows special needs children from four counties to mainstream with other village children and receive speech and cognitive therapy. In Kenya, one program provides a stable home environment for orphans, allowing them to avoid institutions or the streets. The other program allows village children to attend quality schools and receive focused leadership training. In Haiti, COCI provides for a nutrition program in a local school, allowing children to avoid malnutrition and to focus on their educations.
