NGO Dako
The NGO German-African Cooperation Association (known in German as DAKO e.V.) was founded in
Cologne, Germany on July 19th, 2004 and registered under VR14532 in the Association Registry. The
association’s goals are neither profitable nor lucrative. The NGO DAKO is an Intercultural Center Since April
2020.
To achieve this goal, we organize intercultural projects open to people with migration background; among
other things, a space for exchange and weekly meeting (Familiencaf s), excursions, workshops for children
and teenagers, cycling and swimming lessons for adults, language support and communication, as well as
practical advice related to life in Germany in general. If necessary, we support on a case-by-case basis the
concerned persons to the administrative authorities.
On the international level, we contribute to the causes of the exodus of young Africans to Europe by
initiating development projects in African countries: (building of schools, school canteens and vegetable
gardens), drinking water supply, payment of school fees for children, etc. In addition, we organize symposia
and round tables to discuss about migration and development issues. Do not hesitate to contact us.
