Poku-poku


 

Poku-poku means “little by little” in Kriolu. That is the ethos of this space: big change from small steps.

Each month, a thoughtful selection of funding needs will be highlighted to raise awareness and support. Your generous contribution to any of these initiatives goes further than you might realize! Each cause will center around mutual aid or boots-on-the-ground organizations that are actively delivering essential care directly to those in need. It is through the strength of our community that we can collectively make the world a better place for everyone. As a Kabuverdianu space, are committed to ensuring that at least one cause each month will focus on addressing the needs of people and organizations throughout Cabo Verde, emphasizing the importance of solidariadadi, komunidadi, y midjoria di these communities.
