Cobra Group news

Cobra Group creates quite a buzz by helping a couple who have been actively working for underprivileged kids in Sierra Leone, the badly affected African country.

Nigel Eastwood and his wife Vijaya have been working for children in the Kailahun District of Sierra Leone, as part of a charity organisation based in rural Lancashire. The organisation, comprising of volunteers, was formed in 2006 and works closely with the Church, Education Department, Hospitals and the Schools of Kailahun. Kailahun is one of the badly affected districts in Sierra Leone, the African country that is the twelfth-lowest-ranked country on the Human Development Index and eighth-lowest on the Human Poverty Index. The standard of life there has been low and people have had to face all kinds of issues.

Cobra Group, represented by the Cobra Foundation has always stood with the Lancashire based organisation. Recently Nigel and Vijaya took part in a fund-raising related sporting event in Manchester. Their aim was to raise £3000.00 for buying a vehicle to transport the children in Kailahun. The Cobra Group supported the couple by sponsoring them at the sporting event.
