Our local partner is the local branch of FAGAD at Esse. It is helped by the village development committee. We work with them for years. With our one of our French partners, we have built a recreational center with library and the creation of income generating activities.

Work: Theme: Education and children’s leisure activities The objective is to get the children of this locality to discover the others with their cultures and ways of living, offer them a way to relax and express themselves in ways other than those they have habitually. At the same time liberate their parents for some hours. For this project, we also want to make the population conscious of the benefits offered by the trees. The young people of this area in collaboration with the FAGAD volunteers will plant trees on parcels of land particularly designated. This project is placed in the framework of sensitization and the fight against the rising temperatures of the climate. It is also a support for education by furnishing a source of finance for the school by way of planting fruit trees whose fruit will be sold. We also desire on this occasion to create a group dynamism between the young people on the one hand and the population on the other hand. Work to be done: Take charge of the children in several domains, organizing a program of games, artisanal activities and sketches, Provision of scholastic support for school studies ( holiday courses to get up to the necessary level ), Guided visits…, Pulling up plants, creating limits, digging, putting in posts, putting plants in the soil, watering.
