Simon Tiemtore, Chairman of the Vista banking group, has continued his commitment to supporting the pupils of the Nation in Burkina Faso. On September 29, 2026, he distributed school supplies to 193 children benefiting from the USFA summer camp. The children also received support for their school fees for the 2026-2027 academic year. This initiative is part of Tiemtore's ongoing engagement with the pupils.
The support package for the pupils includes an envelope of over 26.8 million CFA francs. This will cover school fees and the purchase of school supplies for the beneficiaries. This action builds on a previous commitment made during the previous school year. In 2025, 104 children received support worth over 18.6 million CFA francs. The current initiative has seen an increase in both the number of beneficiaries and resources mobilized.
According to Laurent Tiemtore, representing Simon Tiemtore, the action stems from an agreement between the donor and the USFA summer camp. It demonstrates Tiemtore's willingness to extend his support beyond the camp activities. The goal is to provide long-term support to the children. Tiemtore aims to transform a one-time solidarity commitment into sustainable support.
The initiative is part of Simon Tiemtore's corporate social responsibility, focusing on education, youth, health, solidarity, and the environment. By providing support to the pupils, Tiemtore seeks to contribute to human, social, and community development. The support provided includes school supplies and coverage of school fees for the new academic year.
Colonel Hamed Hermann Rouamba, Chief of Staff of the Army and president of the USFA executive committee, expressed gratitude to Simon Tiemtore for his support. He highlighted the importance of solidarity towards the Nation's pupils. Rouamba emphasized that the ceremony illustrates this solidarity, with the Vista Group making a concrete and significant contribution.
The parents of the beneficiaries also welcomed the initiative. Salamata Sere, representing the parents, thanked Simon Tiemtore for his generosity and support. She expressed hope that the gains from the summer camp will continue over time. The support provided will have a positive impact on the children's education and well-being.
