About us

Nukoko is a registered Canadian not-for-profit organization that promotes access to education in Togo, West Africa by working with local youth-run initiatives.

We are youth partnering with youth. We partner across the world to build global capacity for universal education.

We are volunteers. Nukoko is run by a team of dedicated volunteers, each playing a meaningful role in the organization. Our lack of overhead expenses means that 100 percent of the donations we receive support our programs.

We are global. Our team members and partners come from across Canada and around the world to pursue the common objective of increasing access to education.

We are collaborative. We build capacity for universal education through educational programs at home, equal partnerships abroad, and the development of global dialogue.

Our goals

Our shared goals at Nukoko are:

• To create equality by helping girls access education. The majority of  poor and illiterate people living in Africa are female. Nukoko is dedicated to helping girls reach their fullest potential through education, thereby ending the cycle of poverty and underdevelopment.

• To contribute to sustainable development. To us, sustainable development means the responsible use of resources that assist development without compromising the environment and future generations. We work with local youth, encouraging them to develop their own country and providing them with the education and skills needed to end poverty.
