Our current project

CHOKO’s latest project is to fund Child Health Improvement Programme, which is an awareness-raising programme run by World Vision. The Sekororo hospital reports that children are dying from curable and preventable diseases. Many of the clinics in Kodumela are not easily accessible to the villagers, as they tend to be concentrated where there are tarred roads so parents do not take their children for immunisation.

The project’s aim is to achieve maximum impact in one year of focussed activity. It is anticipated that once parents have been made aware of the programme and have taken their children for the free immunisations, they will be more likely to take future siblings, and spread the word to friends and relations of the health benefits for their families.

7000 children under 5 years of age require vaccinations. At a cost of £11,663 for the project, that is just £1.66 per child!

The Fifth Choko Beer Festival
September 29th 2012 - An day of family fun!

Once again we will be holding our annual beer festival at the Laurence Hall Cholsey.

Young fund raisers

Six pupils at Benson School were so inspired by the Rain Water Harvesting Project that they organised a triathlon and raised the staggering total of over £1,600 for Choko.  This will probably be doubled by St Mary's Church, Cholsey as part of their Mission Support work.
