On Thursday, September 24, Gazari Latifou, a regional councilor, donated school kits to 60 deserving and underprivileged students from four educational institutions in Tchaoudjo 2 commune. The kits, which include notebooks, bags, and pens, were given to students from public primary schools (EPP) Groups A, Zongo, and Taré, as well as those from the Lycée de Lama-Téssi. This gesture aims to encourage students to strive for better academic results and ensure equal opportunities for all.
The donation, made possible through the financial support of the French association Actions-Continents, seeks to alleviate the financial burden on low-income parents who struggle to purchase school supplies. The recipients were also sensitized on the importance of academic excellence, regular attendance, and respect for teachers and parents. This initiative is part of Gazari Latifou's ongoing efforts to support education in the region.
In addition to the school kits, the four educational institutions received packages containing notebooks, boxes of chalk, pens, mathematics and French textbooks, and complete solar lamp posts. These donations aim to improve learning conditions and provide equal opportunities for all students. Gazari Latifou emphasized that his actions align with the President of the Council's policy of providing quality education for all.
The solar lamp posts will illuminate school courtyards and extend teachers' working hours, allowing students without access to lighting at home to safely revise their lessons. Gazari Latifou was accompanied by a delegation of Tchaoudjo cadres from the Union for the Republic (UNIR) party, including the party's prefectural secretary, Tchagao Sahidou.
The mayor of Tchaoudjo 2, Kiliou Kokolou, and the headmaster of Lycée de Lama-Tessi expressed their gratitude to Gazari Latifou and his partner for their "precious" gesture, which will greatly benefit the recipients and inspire them to learn and teach. The students promised to work hard to achieve excellent academic results and be worthy of future donations.
Gazari Latifou's initiative is part of his continued efforts to support education in the region, with the goal of promoting quality education and equal opportunities for all. The donations will have a positive impact on the students and the educational institutions, enabling them to improve their academic performance and learning conditions.
The event took place on September 24 in Sokodé, and the Togolese Press Agency reported that the donations were well-received by the students, parents, and educational authorities. The initiative demonstrates Gazari Latifou's commitment to supporting education and promoting development in the Tchaoudjo region.
