The Committee on Poverty Association is a Charitable Institution set up in the year 1999 on the initiative of the then President of the Republic Mr Cassam Uteem , G.C.S.K to help in the fight against exclusion and poverty alleviation.
The aim of the Committee of Poverty Association addresses the inequality in the system that affects mostly children from under privileged regions. It deemed essential that children must benefit from the positive effects of a sound educational system.
Investing in education in the early years of children’s lives is crucial in their development, helping them realize their fullest potential.
The Association caters for needy children and parents in certain regions across the Island and support is extended to a group of children in Rodrigues.
School Materials and Pedagogical Tools are given to beneficiaries in the month of December.
The Committee provides pedagogical assistance and provide access to education at an early age so that there is an early stimulation in the process of education.
We have a wonderful team of Managing Committee and Trustee Members who are constantly helping us achieve our goals.
