DEVOTED TO GIVING LIFE TO WEST AFRICA
MISSION
Everything we do is based on the belief that we, as humans, are called to change lives. Our mission is to bring life and a promising future to the forgotten people of Côte d'Ivoire. We are dedicated to showing them that they are NOT forgotten!
Mike Cousineau, 1040i's President, has dedicated the last fifty years to empowering the people of Côte d'Ivoire! 1040i has hosted over twenty Impact trips since 2010, with twenty-five Ivorians serving as administrative and auxiliary staff in Côte d'Ivoire. We have ensured an ethical and self-sustaining entity so that one day the Ivorians can thrive without any assistance.
