TRECC

TRECC is a program working to improve quality of education in cocoa communities in Ivory Coast. Despite accounting for almost 40% of global cocoa production, Ivory Coast’s smallholder cocoa farmers subsist on less than half a dollar a day. This high level of poverty is compounded by very low literacy and school attendance rates nationwide, gender inequality, and child labor, particularly in rural areas. Education can enable children and youth to lead fulfilled lives and help break the poverty cycle. TRECC is supported by the Jacobs Foundation, the Bernard van Leer Foundation and the UBS Optimus Foundation. You can follow us on our other social media:
