EVCO’s Mission
EVCO seeks to eradicate poverty by fostering community involvement and development through projects focused on computer literacy and sustainable farming.
EVCO accomplishes its mission through the following activities:
♦ Partnering with communities to improve school facilities, develop computer literacy programs, and engage students and families in education.
♦ Providing rural farmers with coaching, training, and start-up micro-loans to raise small farm animals and sustainable crops.
♦ Creating economic opportunities in local communities to stem urban migration.
