FOUNDING STORY
Though Masoro sector is considered a peri-urban area, its residents still have limited access to Community resources such as learning centers; sports and recreational centers; computer rooms; and Community-enhancing resources.
In 2019, a learning center under the name of Masoro Learning and Sports Center (MLSC) was founded? Between 2019-2021 implemented 5 programs namely – Digital Literacy Program, Library Access, Health Program, Sports and Recreation, Leadership & Empowerment.
The various programs delivered put light on the need to establish a more sustainable entity that would continue to carry on the mission of providing greater opportunities to the Masoro Community in general and its most vulnerable members in particular. And the Isốoko Community Development was born.
