In addition to recognizing the merits of the students, the ATYD supported 410 internally displaced students spending their school holidays far from their parents with 25 kg of rice.
According to the president of the Association, Kanlanfé Fidèle Ouôba, their actions aim to encourage these children who fled their locality because of insecurity to continue their schooling.
Citing a popular adage ‘If you want to destroy a country, you only need to destroy its school system’, he added that the current security situation has had a lot of negative repercussions in education, therefore, their objective is to contribute to keep children in school until the end of their normal school curriculum.
The ATYD has planned the training of 190 internally displaced students in IT, saponification and the manufacture of ‘KOKODUNDA’ loincloths and some will benefit from a sum of 25,000 CFA francs to carry out income-generating activities (AGR).
