In the charity's own words

Centennial Old Students Association is geared towards raising funds to provide scholarships for deserving students who successfully complete their school leaving examination and are qualified to enter University. We also undertake the development of the school's infrastructure which was badly damaged during the last civil war in Sierra Leone. We provide assistance to some of our elderly members.
