About The Komenda Project
The Komenda Project is focused on education and mentorship to create long-term change in underprivileged communities.
Our Vision is to empower and enable underprivileged children and youth to make sustainable change in their communities. We’ll do this by:
-
Introducing innovative educational, support, and mentorship programs
-
Providing access to financial and training resources that will enable individuals to reach their full potential
-
Creating the foundation for our programming in Komenda and adapting the model based on the needs of other underprivileged communities
Our Unique Approach
The Komenda Project is unique because the driving force is creating long-term sustainable solutions to poverty alleviation. We believe that poverty alleviation starts with economic empowerment. In addressing the root cause of poverty, we are able to design programs that create long-lasting change in underprivileged communities, breaking the poverty cycle.
