COPELI ORG

We are COPELI, a non-profit organization based in Greece, founded in September 2024 and operating in three locations: Heraklion (Greece), Arusha (Tanzania), and Medellín (Colombia).

Our journey started in 2021 during a three-month volunteer program at Ilkidinga Public Primary School in Arusha, where we launched a fundraising campaign. With the support of donors, we renovated toilets and classrooms in three public primary schools across the Ilkidinga, Olchoki, and Loruvani communities.

Today, COPELI continues this mission with a strong commitment to transparency, empowerment, sustainability, respect for local identity, equity, and independence. We focus on long-term, sustainable solutions to critical challenges, such as water scarcity, poor sanitation, inadequate nutrition, and low literacy, by providing children and communities with the knowledge, infrastructure, and practical skills needed to build self-sufficient, thriving futures.
