🏢 About the local organisation
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.
💼 What the programme involves
: Education and children’s leisure activities
The objective is to get the children of this locality to discover other persons with
their cultures and modes of living, to offer them the means to fulfill themselves other than those they have habitually, and liberate the parents for a few hours.
By means of this project we also wish to sensibilise the population to the benefits
of trees. The young persons of this area in collaboration with the volunteers of FAGAD will plant trees on well - defined parcels of land. The project intervenes in the framework of the sensibilisation of the combat for the protection of the environment, one of the strategies in the combat against climate warming. It is also a support for education in furnishing a source of autofinance for the school thanks to the planting of fruit trees whose fruit will be sold. Alongside this we wish to create a group dynamism between the young on the one hand and the rest of the population on the other.
Work to be done:
Supervise the children in several domains in organizing a programme of games, artisanal activities, sketches.
Scholastic support ( holiday courses for bring pupils up to standard ).
Guided visits…
Clearing, delimiting, digging, putting posts, planting plants, watering.
