In India, in Jharia, at the heart of the coal mines, 80 children are finding hope again thanks to the Coalfield Children Classes program. Every day, they walk through the school doors armed with curiosity and courage, ready to build their future.

In Kenya, in the village of Dol Dol, within the Maasai community, 116 children have been receiving school scholarships since the opening of the Nossim School in February 2025. Since its launch, the school has been running smoothly: the children attend classes in good conditions, receive supplies and uniforms, and grow up peacefully in an environment that fosters learning.

In Mali and Burkina Faso, this school year is especially meaningful. Thanks to a new partnership with the CFAO group, strong and lasting ties are being forged to support education.

The Catalan theatre company Cia Campi Qui Pugui creates poetic performances accessible to audiences of all ages.

The company created and staged the show Camí a l’escola, inspired by the film On the Way to School. After more than 200 performances, they reached a new milestone by giving their first international performance at the Ricca Ricca Festa festival in Okinawa, Japan!

On stage, the company recreates the real journeys of children traveling to school, as depicted in the film. The festival team in Okinawa reconstructed the set, and every detail was carefully designed to provide a faithful and immersive experience.

Being a partner in such an event and seeing On the Way to School adapted for the stage by Cia Campi Qui Pugui is a tremendous source of pride.

The emotion it evokes in the Japanese audience, children from China and Taiwan, as well as international companies, perfectly illustrates the universal impact of this story.

NIELSA: A VOICE OF HOPE FOR EDUCATION!

Nadir Ziri News 09 July 2025

THIS MONTH, LET’S SHINE A LIGHT ON NIELSA, A YOUNG GIRL FROM THE PHILIPPINES, SUPPORTED SINCE 2019.

Through her poem, she reminds us that education is a powerful force for profound transformation.

Born into an environment marked by poverty, Nielsa grew up in the heart of Smokey Mountain, a vast landfill in Manila, Philippines. This place, where thousands of families live in precarious conditions, surviving by scavenging waste, symbolizes the immense challenges she has faced. Despite these hardships, Nielsa never stopped nurturing her dreams.

Through her powerful verses, she shares her reality—the daily sacrifices, the unwavering support of her family, and, above all, her thirst for learning.

"Mama always said, ‘My only inheritance to you is education.’"
"Only one answer remains with me until today… ‘TO FINISH MY STUDIES.’"

For Nielsa, education is more than hope: it is a promise, a mission, a true inheritance.

Studying is her way of honoring her mother’s love, giving meaning to all the sacrifices, and building a dignified future for herself and her siblings.

Her dream is simple, yet carries an unshakable strength:
Go to school. Study. Succeed.

All of this is possible thanks to your support! Your commitment and encouragement motivate young people like Nielsa to pursue their ambitions and build a promising future.

Thank you for continuing to believe in them and in their dreams, which we support until they are fully realized.

A MONTH OF JUNE FILLED WITH SOLIDARITY—THANKS TO YOU!

Nadir Ziri News 30 June 2025

Our commitment comes to life close to home, with dedicated volunteer teachers, through workshops designed to foster solidarity and an awareness of others.

This June has been full of solidarity initiatives led by children, teachers, and families committed to our cause. Thanks to their energy and support, wonderful projects have come to life to help children around the world.

Here’s a glimpse of these inspiring initiatives:

📅 June 11 — Charity Flea Market, École Anatole France, Issy-les-Moulineaux
After watching the episode about Nasta in Mayotte, the students were deeply moved by her story. They organized a charity flea market, selling their toys, books, and food to support other children worldwide. A beautiful example of commitment and generosity!

📅 June 14 — La Daronnerie Festival, Saint-Ouen La Communale
We participated in this festival dedicated to parenting, hosting a booth to raise awareness about our association and its mission. It was a great opportunity to engage families and strengthen our solidarity network.

📅 Rice Bowl Campaign — École Ste Jeanne d’Arc, Miramas
The CM1 students chose to share a simple bowl of rice instead of their usual lunch at the cafeteria. The goal: to take a concrete action of solidarity and raise awareness of the privilege of having access to meals and education. Congratulations on this wonderful initiative!

📅 Humanitarian Run — Collège Louis Paulhan, Sartrouville
The teenagers from the Louis Paulhan collective took on an impressive challenge: running 10 to 15 km to raise funds and raise awareness about children deprived of education. To mark the event, they even created “On the Way to School” t-shirts. A huge thank you to them for their dedication and determination!

Your support makes all of this possible. Thank you for believing in us and walking alongside us to give every child the chance to go to school and build their future.

Together, let’s accompany them until their dreams come true!
