Our Mission:
Creating Opportunity
We seek to end poverty in Africa
by providing the tools to break out of it.
COFA has initiated two five-year fundraising drives, intended to raise $1 million each for scholarships at St. Peter Christian College in Mhluzi, South Africa and for support of its orphanage in Middelburg, South Africa. See details at our Education and Orphan Care pages.

“Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity,
it is an act of justice.”

About Us
Christian Outreach for Africa (COFA) was organized by people who decided to act on their Christian faith by attacking the cycle of poverty in parts of Africa. Rather than simply provide charity, however, COFA helps fund sustainable projects that have a permanent impact. Our holistic program that provides quality Christian education, basic health care, safe and affordable housing, and meaningful employment, gives the impoverished the opportunity to create a better future for themselves. We currently have projects in South Africa and Uganda.
Education
We help improve school facilities and provide scholarships and tuition for preschool and K-12 students.
Jobs
We create jobs and encourage entrepreneurship.
Shelter
We help develop safe and affordable shelter.
Health Care
We help develop health care facilities and services.
Orphan Care
We help improve school facilities and provide scholarships and tuition for preschool and K-12 students.
The COFA Model
The COFA model is designed for long-term impact:
Partnerships: We collaborate with individuals and organizations in the U.S. and in Africa with the dedication and expertise to work in the challenging environment of African nations.
Sustainable Projects: We undertake projects that continue to provide benefits after our role is completed.
Local Participation: We work with the people we hope to serve in order to ensure that a project meets their needs and they have a stake in its success.
Financial and Management Control: COFA’s dedication to following strict accounting and disclosure principals has earned it a Four Star rating from Charity Navigator and a Platinum Transparency rating from Candid/Goldstar.
