The Tanda mairie has taken a significant step to support local families by awarding 313 scholarships and distributing 500 school kits to students. This initiative, which took place on September 26, 2026, aims to alleviate the financial burden on families and provide better learning conditions for students. The ceremony, presided over by Adjoumani Koffi, the fourth deputy mayor and president of the organizing committee, was held at the mairie's deliberation room.
According to Adjoumani Koffi, this initiative is part of the municipality's social and educational policy, which prioritizes rural communities. He emphasized that investing in children is investing in the future and encouraged students to take their education seriously. The scholarships and school kits were allocated based on the previous year's academic results, demonstrating the mairie's commitment to supporting students' academic success.
Amoa Brou Rachel, the secretary general of the Tanda prefecture, praised the initiative, highlighting its impact on students' education. She stressed that education is a collective responsibility and encouraged parents to accompany their children in their academic journey. Rachel also urged students to make the most of the support they received and to strive for excellence in their studies.
The initiative represents a total investment of 20 million FCFA, with 15 million FCFA allocated to scholarships and 5 million FCFA to school kits. Adjoumani Koffi encouraged parents to view this support as a complement to their efforts, rather than a simple handout. He also urged students to see the scholarships and school kits as a sign of expectation and hope for their future.
