The CODEPA, a Non Profit registered CSR-NGO ( No. 6544),  based in Quatre Bornes grouping  members from Grassroots Community Leaders to Social Practitioners including  MSc  holders in Community Services Management and Health Care Management (University of Wales- Swansea, United Kingdom) and operating in different sectors of Community care. Major local organizations such as the DCP/EU,  GEF/ SGP, Ramsar Secretariat, MRC and the Karolinska Institute, Sweden are among our main funding partners and collaborators  During almost a decade, we have  concentrated our actions at the very grassroots vulnerable groups mainly in the suburbs of Quatre Bornes, Cite Perdue, Poste Lafayette, Chamarel, Cite Anoska, La Pipe, Camp de Masque Pave and Rose Belle, ensuring that those absolute poor find avenues of socio economic integration.

 

 CODEPA has been instrumental  sensitising the local community towards a better integration of vulnerable groups including the younger generation. It  collaborated with the Municipality of Quatre Bornes, and other NGO’s, Forces Vives, and Ministries to develop a Community Safety Programme  in partnership with Karolinska Instititute, Stockholm, Sweden.
