Get Involved
You can support us financially, prayerfully and by helping share our story.
Your tax-deductible gift goes to help support the more than 500 students at Tapadany Christian Academy in West Pokot, Kenya, Africa. We also feed these students and 40+ employees 2 meals a day. We provide free health care to these students and anyone in the community who needs it. We are working hard on economic development in a community where there is little. Your small gifts go far in providing hope for a future. To give you an idea; a $5 donation can buy new shoes for 2 or 3 children, a $15 donation can pay for malaria treatment for 20 children, a $25 donation feeds 3 families for a month, a $50 donation can pay the wages of one of our day laborers for a month, and $100 donation can provide breakfast and lunch for our whole school of over 500 children.

Join Us
We are looking for some individuals to fill some volunteer roles for COPE. These are not board member positions. There are several aspects to running our mission that require extra hands. We are looking for people to plug in and donate their time and talent to help us with these roles. The current positions we have available are prayer team members and fundraising/marketing team members.
We will have board members assigned as “Sponsors” for each of these roles to help answer any questions the volunteers have and supply them with whatever they need to be successful in their position. The Executive Directors would also be available to assist the volunteers.
If you are interested in volunteering for COPE, please reach out to us at childrenofpokot@gmail.com and we will send you more information.
Prayer support
We need prayer partners that can be prayer warriors on behalf of Children of Pokot Educational Fund Ministry. Almost every newsletter has points of need in them that we would love for you to take up and cover in prayer for us. This is one of the best ways to support us from anywhere at any time. If you would like to receive our newsletter please contact us.
Share Our Story
Please tell others about COPE Ministry. Tell your church, family, friends, coworkers, and businesses about COPE and how they can help make a difference in the Pokot community today! It is hard for us to spread what COPE Ministry is doing by ourselves. We need your help!
The Amalla Family (our Executive Directors) are also the lead on the majority of our church outreach and fundraising efforts. If you would like the Amalla family to visit your church, small group, organization, or family to share about our outreach efforts in West Pokot, Kenya, please contact us!
Check our home page for updated schedule.
