Back to School: Main d’Afrique NGO distributes 1,405 school kits in six villages in northern Ivory Coast

From October 9 to 11, 2026, the NGO Main d’Afrique, led by Mrs. Koita née Kaboré Assétou, distributed 1,405 school supply kits to students from CP1 to CM2 in six villages in northern Ivory Coast, including Kouakou Dapakro, Kouamé Dari, Yaokro, Abokro, Amonkobénankro, and Assuéfry. The initiative aims to help rural families cope with the expenses of the 2026-2027 school year, especially those whose income depends on cashew nut sales, which do not align with the school calendar. The mission also highlighted the poor condition of the school in Yaokro, with dilapidated buildings, insufficient equipment, and a lack of staff, making student supervision difficult.
