In a significant boost to education in Guinea, Deputy Abdoulaye Baldé of Gaoual has donated 50 bags and 14 cartons of school supplies to students at Thialékoto College. The donation, made on October 7, 2026, aims to support students during the new academic year. The supplies were handed over to representatives of Malanta residents, who have been instrumental in developing local infrastructure. This initiative complements the 300 school uniforms already provided to students during the college's inauguration on September 26, 2026.
The Thialékoto College was built by the Association for the Development of Boussoura Binany (ADBB), with support from local residents. Deputy Baldé emphasized that the donation was made possible through the efforts of the President of the National Assembly, Dr. Dansa Kourouma, and contributions from Mme Traoré Mimi Pêche. He also acknowledged the support of Ousmane Gaoual Diallo, which enabled the deputy to effectively represent the region's interests. The donated items include 12 cartons of notebooks, two cartons of pens, and 50 bags.
During the handover ceremony, Deputy Baldé encouraged local residents and well-wishers to continue investing in development initiatives. He stressed the importance of collaborative efforts to improve local infrastructure, including schools, health centers, and rural roads. The deputy also highlighted the National Assembly's commitment to supporting education in the region. By providing essential supplies, the aim is to ensure that students can focus on their studies without financial burdens.
Mamadou Oury Diallo, President of the Malanta Residents Association, expressed gratitude for the donation. He noted that the association's goal is to continue supporting education and contributing to the fight against illiteracy and poverty. The association plans to construct additional schools, health centers, and roads to enhance living conditions in the sub-prefecture. Diallo also emphasized the importance of collaboration with the state to achieve these objectives.
Mamadou Kaly Diallo, President of the Guinean Councils in Spain and Malta, explained the motivations behind the residents' investments in educational infrastructure. Since 2017-2018, Malanta residents have mobilized to develop their locality, contributing to the construction of a health post and several primary schools. The decision to build colleges was driven by the high rate of school dropouts. Kaly Diallo welcomed the state's support and the National Assembly's donation, which will enable students to pursue their education without financial constraints.
The Association for the Development of Boussoura Binany (ADBB) and local residents have played a crucial role in developing educational infrastructure in Malanta. The construction of Thialékoto College and other schools aims to address the issue of school dropouts and provide opportunities for children to continue their education locally. The collaboration between residents, the state, and the National Assembly reflects a shared commitment to improving education and living standards in the region.
The donation of school supplies to Thialékoto College students is a testament to the collaborative efforts of local residents, the National Assembly, and the state to support education in Guinea. By providing essential supplies and infrastructure, stakeholders aim to create a conducive learning environment and promote academic success. As the academic year progresses, the impact of these initiatives on students' performance and overall well-being will be closely monitored.
