The Association for the Contribution and Resilience of Rural Communities, in collaboration with the Tadjourah Regional Education Inspectorate, organized a caravan to distribute school kits to students in isolated areas of Mont Mabla and Mont Goda. The initiative aims to support the education of children from pastoralist families and improve their learning conditions. The caravan, led by Ahmed Bouha Kamil, visited several isolated localities in the Tadjourah region.

The caravan stopped at Debne in Mont Mabla and then proceeded to Mont Goda, where it reached the localities of Itki and Waydarim. The goal of this operation is to help meet the educational needs of children living in rural areas, where access to supplies can be a significant burden for families. The distribution of these kits provides concrete support to students and their parents, promoting equal opportunities for children in urban and rural areas.

The caravan was made possible thanks to the contribution of several partners, including Sovereign Carbon Agency, which provided school supplies, and Harmonica Group, which donated notebooks for students. Global Diaspora Djibouti, a partner committed to childhood and education in isolated areas, was also involved in the initiative. The association expressed its gratitude to various officials and local actors who facilitated the operation.

The association thanked Minister of National Education and Vocational Training Moustapha Mahmoud for his support in transporting the school kits, as well as Minister Delegate for Digital Economy and Innovation Safia Mohamed Ali Gadileh for her accompaniment of initiatives in favor of youth and regions. The association also acknowledged the support of Colonel-Major Ali Chehem Daoud, Dr. Ibrahim Mohamed Dimbio, and Inspector of Education Ahmed Hamadou Ibrahim.

The caravan's actions illustrate the importance of collective mobilization around education in rural areas. In territories where geographical constraints and living conditions can complicate the educational journey, solidarity initiatives help bring educational resources closer to children who need them most. The association and its partners reaffirm their commitment to a more inclusive school that is attentive to the realities of rural communities.

The distribution of school kits is a crucial step in supporting the education of children in isolated areas. By providing students with the necessary tools, the caravan aims to encourage them to continue their studies in better conditions. The initiative also highlights the challenges faced by families in rural areas, who often struggle to access basic educational resources.

The Association for the Contribution and Resilience of Rural Communities will continue to work towards improving education in rural Djibouti. With the support of its partners, the association aims to expand its initiatives and reach more students in need. Key points:
