  • Ivorian NGO Charitis donated 93 school kits worth 2 million CFA francs to children at the Orphanage and Foster Home of Abidjan.
  • The beneficiaries, from kindergarten through final year of secondary school, received supplies ahead of the 2026-2027 school year.
  • Charitis says the initiative aims to reduce material barriers that can disrupt the education of children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

With the new school year only days away, Charitis has stepped in with school supplies for 93 vulnerable children in Abidjan.

The NGO handed over the kits on Saturday, September 5, 2026, to residents of the Orphanage and Foster Home of Abidjan, located in Yopougon’s Cité Mamie Adjoua. The donation, valued at 2 million CFA francs, covers children from kindergarten through the final year of secondary school.

The supplies are intended to help the beneficiaries begin the 2026-2027 school year in better conditions. For Charitis, the effort addresses the practical obstacles that can threaten the schooling of children from disadvantaged families.

“Material difficulties must not deprive a child of the chance to succeed. This conviction underpins our programme supporting the education of children in vulnerable situations,” said Charitis Director-General Dr. Béranger N’Cho.
