Contributing to access to education where it is needed most

The mission entrusted to the Association by its founding members is to contribute to access to education in disadvantaged and rural areas, in response to specific needs — and to promote the participation of grassroots partners in decisions on educational issues in all their dimensions: social, economic and cultural.

How we carry out our mission

  • Scholarships

    Every school year, we pay the school fees of the children we support, so that cost is never the reason a child has to leave school.

  • School kits

    At the start of the school year, each child receives the uniform, books and supplies they need to follow lessons on equal terms with their classmates.

  • Food sharing

    Children cannot learn when they are hungry. During our visits, we share meals and distribute food to the children and their families.

  • Sanitary kits

    We distribute hygiene and sanitary kits, especially to girls, so that they do not miss school days because they lack basic products.

  • Grassroots participation

    Decisions about each child’s education are made together with their families, teachers and local partners, who know the needs on the ground best.

  • Yearly follow-up

    Each year we assess the children’s results and needs, and we document our actions below with photos and videos.
