What do chickens, human rights, rainwater, pupusas and a community center have in common? They are all part of the 2024 CoCoDA Project Fair!
On October 24th, CoCoDA will host the 2024 Project Fair. A space for CoCoDA’s Central American partners to present exciting community-based projects.
Here’s how it works:
- 🥗 You and – hopefully – some of your friends decide to have dinner together on Thursday, October 24th.
- 📺 After dinner, you hook up a computer to your TV and gather at 8 p.m. EST to watch an hour of beautiful videos and informative interviews about FIVE EXCITING PROJECTS planned by CoCoDA and our partners in 2025.
- 🎁 After the presentation, your group pools your resources and pledges a certain donation to one or more of the projects. It could be $100, $500 or even $1,000.
- 🧩 In early 2025, everyone who donates receives updates on the projects.
- 🧳 In June of 2025, if you wish, you can join the Friends of CoCoDA trips and actually visit the project you sponsored!
Our 2025 Projects include…
Chicken Farms in Houses
A pilot program that will help 15 female led households from Suchitoto, El Salvador, set up small chicken farms, to produce eggs and meat for their families and for resale.
