Acquier Community
COJAD, a youth development organization in Acquier, describes their community in these words:
Acquier is located in the 3rd section of the Commune of Maniche. It is a large community nestled up in the mountains. It has about twelve localities and 160 homes. It should be noted that it is a very beautiful village. However, it is really vulnerable. In terms of infrastructure, there is no school, no health dispensary, no electricity, no safe drinking water etc. The roads are more or less accessible. In the said locality, there are two grassroots organizations: Acquier’s Peasant Organization (OPA) and the Acquier Youth Combine for Development (COJAD). These organizations do the best they can to support the village, but lack the necessary means to bring about lasting change. Faced with such a situation, the COJAD Committee is asking for your kind support in helping to provide a social framework for the development of Acquier so it can breathe in an air of a genuine and sustainable development.
Our Community Engagement in Acquier
Acquier is one of the newest communities we are starting to engage with, and we are very excited to begin this journey of transformation with them. We currently have one member of Acquier community attending our Train the Trainer community engagement program and we hope to enroll an additional trainee for the purpose of the community having enough catalysts who can walk alongside them as they create their own transformational change.
