In a ceremony held at the public school in Ndendé, local officials distributed 2,500 school kits to students in the area. The kits, which include bags, notebooks, pens, and geometry materials, were given to students in pre-primary and primary school. The initiative was led by Mays Mouissi, Minister of Housing and Cadastre and Secretary General of the Union of Democratic Builders (UDB), who was represented by his wife Leticia Mouissi.

The distribution of school kits is part of a larger effort to support education in the region. According to Pierre Nzienguí-Mamboundou, Treasurer of the UDB for the Ngounié province, this is the third edition of the initiative, which aims to alleviate the financial burden on families during the start of the school year. The goal is to ensure that families do not have to bear the full cost of school supplies, which can be a significant expense.

The ceremony was attended by several high-ranking officials, including Senator Mourela Bigouagou, Deputy Olivia Nongou, Mayor of Ndendé Guy-Gervais Mouloungui, and President of the Departmental Council of Dola Jeannot Kassa. The event was also attended by UDB officials, who emphasized the importance of education in the development of the local community.

The distribution of school kits is seen as a way to demonstrate the commitment of local officials to education and to the well-being of families in the region. According to the organizers, the initiative reflects the government's efforts to promote solidarity and to encourage local leaders to take an active role in the development of their communities.

The support for students is expected to continue beyond the distribution of school kits. Officials have announced plans to provide additional support to high school students during exam periods, as well as to teachers. This move is seen as a way to ensure that students have the resources they need to succeed academically.

The initiative is also seen as a way to implement the vision of President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguéma, who has emphasized the importance of solidarity and community development. By providing support to students and families, local officials are working to create a more supportive and inclusive environment for education.

Overall, the distribution of 2,500 school kits to students in Ndendé and surrounding villages is a significant effort to support education and alleviate financial burdens on families. The initiative reflects the commitment of local officials to the well-being of their communities and to the development of the region.
