Koko is a community in the Moruca sub-district of Barima-Waini, Region 1. Its links with Santa Rosa and other nearby settlements are reflected in shared education and public-service projects.
Health and water
Koko’s upgraded health post reopened in February 2024, according to DPI. The photograph here shows the facility during that event.
In August 2025, DPI also reported the commissioning of a new village water system. The project included a well, solar-powered pumping and distribution pipes, with the older well connected to the new installation.

Koko was among the communities named in the August 2025 announcement for a new primary school at Huridiah. That school was a construction project at the time of the report; this profile does not assume it has since opened.
