Leadership Training

As part of the July 2021 COH mission trip, we trained 12 teachers and leaders of farming and women’s organizations in leadership skills, organizational principles, and long-term planning. These skills are designed to become regular practices which will gradually improve the quality of life and the general well-being of participating parents and students. The program produced a cadre of local trainers that will implement and sustain on-going training across the community, contributing to greater skill building, agency, and empowerment in Mpoyi.

Women are active through a self-improvement organization called La Promotion Paysanne de la Femme de Mpoyi and in the Rural Development Association, which manages the cooperative farming activities on the COH 24-acre farm.

We have shown that change is possible, if we all come together!
