KOKO FOUNDATION

Our main activities in furtherance of the Charity objects and for the public benefit have been environmental initiatives. The Charity has donated fruit trees to over twenty five primary schools, given away over five hundred whip trees through community events, and most notably partnered with Camden Council to plant trees in council estates.
