1 - SCHOLARSHIPS
WE GRANT MORE THAN A HUNDRED SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS AROUND THE WORLD.
Each scholarship requires a close and structured collaboration with our local partners. These local contacts are the key link in the process. They serve as the connection between the child and the Association, regularly updating us on the student’s academic progress (report cards every term) and ensuring their well-being and needs are met so they can continue their education in the best possible conditions.
2 - COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROJECTS
Our experience has shown us that it is impossible to help a child without considering their environment —their family, living conditions, and more broadly, their entire social and educational context.
We strongly support projects initiated by the children themselves, as active participants in their own journey. We believe that every form of support fosters a constructive dynamic at the heart of their community ecosystem.
Through their success, these children become sources of inspiration, capable of bringing people together and creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout their community moving toward a more promising future.
BUILDING A SCHOOL IN KENYA
Jackson was one of the first children we supported through a scholarship in Kenya. At just 11 years old, he would walk for miles across the savannah to reach school.
Thanks to his determination, he turned that journey into a true source of inspiration and eventually became a lawyer.
Motivated by a desire to give back, he set out to offer children in his village the opportunity to access quality education — by building Nossim School.
Nossim School, which means “hope” in Maasai, opened in February 2025 and now welcomes 110 children aged 4 to 8, in an environment tailored to their growth and well-being.
The school, run by dedicated and qualified teachers, includes well-equipped classrooms, a canteen providing students with a daily meal, an educational vegetable garden, and sanitation facilities that ensure optimal hygiene.
SCHOOL GARDENS
BANGLADESH – INDE – KENYA - MADAGASCAR – MAROC - BURKINA FASO
Aware of the crucial role nutrition plays in academic success, our association is expanding its efforts by establishing sustainable school canteens and involving local communities to ensure the long-term viability of the program.
Since 2024, we have launched a school gardening program across six countries to promote healthy, sustainable, and accessible food.
In addition to providing 115,500 meals annually to 550 children, this project serves as a powerful educational tool: it incorporates lessons on sustainable farming and responsible natural resource management. These gardens become dynamic learning spaces where children gain practical skills, develop independence, and grow aware of the importance of environmental protection.
3 - SOLIDARITY SCHOOL WORKSHOPS
The association offers awareness workshops on engagement for students in France, introducing them to the determination of children around the world who face dangers and obstacles every day to attend school, through the series “Les Chemins de l’École.” (Duration: approximately 1.5 to 2 hours)
Screening of one or two episodes of the series “Les Chemins de l’École” (26 minutes each). Through the efforts of these children, students understand the value of education and appreciate the opportunities they have in France.
Presentation of scholarship children supported by our association, which operates in several distant countries and isolated regions, helping young people access education.
Discussion with students and their teachers.
Implementation of a solidarity action project by the students.
Here are some examples of solidarity actions carried out by students:
Charity run
