What does Cunina do?
Cunina is a registered development organisation founded in 1990 by Sophie Vangheel.
Cunina's mission is to improve access to and the quality of primary and secondary education in 5 partner countries.
Wat maakt Cunina uniek?
Cunina levert al 20 jaar een essentiële bijdrage tot het behalen van de Millennium- en de “Education for All” doelstellingen: gratis toegang tot kwaliteitsvol onderwijs voor ieder kind. Zo kunnen kinderen ter plaatse een beloftevolle toekomst uitbouwen en de socio-economische situatie in hun eigen land verbeteren.
Om deze doelstellingen te bereiken biedt Cunina “1 op 1 peterschappen” aan. Als Cunina peetouder betaal je maandelijks 30 Euro om een kind in het Zuiden naar school te sturen. Dit bedrag dekt de effectieve scholingskosten van dat ene kind waarmee je als enige peetouder gelinkt bent. Read more
