TESTIMONIALS
What People Say about COTFONE
COTFONE has put me on another step in my life because I have got a lot of benefits through COTFONE network and in fact I joined them in 2011 and it was from that year when they enrolled my vulnerable child in their supported school and he has now reached in primary five of which I am very happy with and may the Lord reward you. I have witnessed the founder and the entire staff championing care and support for needy people and their wonderful service to the entire community.
I cannot forget a tragedy when I couldn’t raise funds for my sister’s son I take care of to register for his final Senior Four exams, with all options exhausted and stuck, a loan from COTFONE Guardians’ Network Savings and Loan Association (COGUNE-VSLA) enabled me to get money to support him to register and sit for “O” Level Examinations in 2011 and happily enough he passed and emerged the best in the whole school with a 1st Grade, now he is looking forward to sitting his “A” Level Examinations at Matale Secondary School.
