Choko was set up in Cholsey as a community linking project with the aim of raising funds for disadvantaged communities in the Kodumela region of South Africa - hence the name from Cholsey and Kodumela.
CHOKO have been raising money and supporting a variety of African Community Projects since 2005. Every year through GoMAD in Tanzania (and previously WorldVision) we have sought to connect with these African communities through the linking of schools, churches and visits while also holding events in Cholsey to help fund vital projects that can help to improve living and healthcare standards and provide means for sustainable employment so helping communities to grow and overcome barriers to progress.
The current focus with GoMAD is on maternal and infant mortality. This year we are looking to raise money to make the following improvements to a clinic in the North Mara region in Tanzania where GoMAD operate.
The CHOKO beer festival also raises funds for the Cholsey Primary School PTA and have supported a number of other local charities during our 15 years of fundraising.
