Our history
Louise Da-Cocodia was one of the founding members of Cariocca Enterprise Ltd and Carioca Education Trust. The Trust was established to offer financial support to students of African and Caribbean heritage enrolled on college and university courses in, for example, accountancy, engineering, medicine, dentistry, science and IT.
When Louise passed away on the 18th of March 2008, we honoured her exceptional commitment to the Manchester community by re-naming Cariocca Education Trust to the Louise Da-Cocodia Education Trust (L.D.E.T).
