The Covalima Community Centre (CCC) 

The CCC is a highly professional, inclusive community hub located in the town of Suai in the district of Covalima. Their work is guided by their vision to ‘build a community in which everyone has the opportunity to develop their capacities so that they can contribute to the social and economic development of the Municipality of Covalima, Timor-Leste’. Through accessible education, inclusion training and women’s skill-building sessions, the CCC is helping to create a supportive and resilient community.

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO ENSURE THE CCC CAN CONTINUE TO IMPLEMENT IMPORTANT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS.
