Community Outreach Programme
(COP)
COP aims at creating awareness of the many varied social, economic and cultural problems experienced in the disadvantaged communities of the society through the training and empowerment mainly, but not exclusively, of children and youth, and by working together with both public and private groups and organizations to achieve this end.
Volunteers work with an institution and engage in a variety of activities:
- Teaching
- Work in hospitals or clinics
- Assisting orphanage
- Helping train street youth in sports
- Assisting drop-in or reception centres for street children
- Providing technical assistance
Community Projects
Strathmore sends teams of students to local community centers and orphanages to deliver clothes, shoes, and other gifts. The students also offer assistance in cleaning and improving the centers, and they engage with the children.
