The Association Scolarisation & Compétences Féminines, or SCOPE, has initiated its first education support activity for young girls in Djarmaya, Chad. On October 5, 2026, the organization launched a program benefiting 20 selected girls. The support package includes school fees, uniforms, and complete school supply kits. This initiative aims to encourage and facilitate the girls' education.

The selection process involved a census and evaluation based on predefined criteria. SCOPE's president, Nassour Siddick Mahmoud, emphasized that the program goes beyond merely distributing school supplies. The goal is to empower the girls to learn, stay in school, and prepare for their future. This effort aligns with the call by President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno to rehabilitate and equip public schools.

During the event, President Mahmoud highlighted the significance of the program, stating that it provides the necessary means for the girls to succeed. He also underscored the importance of education in shaping the girls' futures. The program reflects SCOPE's commitment to supporting girls' education in Chad.

The sub-prefect of Djarmaya, Khadidja Hassan Rozi, praised SCOPE's dedication to promoting girls' education. She described the initiative as concrete support for the beneficiaries and their families. Rozi encouraged the girls to be diligent, courageous, and determined in their studies and urged parents to support their daughters throughout their educational journey.

A representative of the 20 beneficiaries expressed gratitude to SCOPE and local authorities for their support. She promised that the girls would take their studies seriously and work hard. The program has been well-received by the community, with many recognizing its potential to positively impact the girls' lives.

SCOPE's initiative in Djarmaya demonstrates the organization's commitment to improving education for young girls in Chad. By providing essential resources and support, SCOPE aims to make a lasting impact on the girls' educational experiences. The program serves as a model for similar initiatives in the region.

The launch event marked a significant milestone in SCOPE's efforts to promote girls' education.
