How does the programme work?

 

The best secondary school students receive a scholarship each year to attend high school and eventually university. Besides the school costs, such as enrolment and books, the scholarships cover transport, food and accommodation expenses.

​

The secondary school director coordinates the programme and reports regularly on the progress of the students. In addition, these students can become part of their village’s education and sustainable development programmes. They are offered opportunities to participate in other projects, such as the media library, school maintenance or support to local companies to gain professional experience and to support the younger kids’ education.

 

Why sponsor a student?

 

We believe that education is a fundamental investment for children, their families and the local community, and the best way to make local development sustainable. We want children to attend not only high school but also university.

 

As the school system is similar to the French one, the last three years of high school take place in a separate school establishment on a different island, whereas university facilities are in the main island. Due to the increasing number of students, the need for more resources grows every year.
