Welcome to COPESSA

COPESSA is a social profit organisation (commonly referred to as Non profit organisation) that was registered in 2000 and opened its first service centre in 2004, in Protea Glen, Soweto.

Our reason for being is to prevent child abuse before it occurs, and to ameliorate its effects when is has occurred, through intense medical & culture-sensitive psychosocial support.

It was set up as a response to the escalating incidence of Child Abuse & Neglect facing our country, South Africa, and the lack of resources to address this challenge.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

We protect children through the following interventions:

▪ Creation of sustainable community development programmes & projects.

▪ Counselling & Medical assessment of abuse survivors, and

▪ Capacity building for communities

OUR VISION

Our Vision is to create safe, caring, and secure communities for children.
