“I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.”William Penn

Over the years, COOJ has been functioning mainly through donations received through its well wishers and business establishments. We do charge for our services, but the income generated from this is inadequate to cover up our expenditures. Besides this, we follow a strict policy that no person will be refused our services due to financial constraints and as a result we have a number of clients who either do not pay completely or pay only partially, the fees. Our commitment to honesty, transparency and accountability has been our pillars, building an institution which is trustworthy in the eyes of our contributors.

 How you can help us?

  • Contribute financially.
  • Volunteer time.
  • Share your expertise and knowledge.
