Construction of sanitary facilities for the Commandant Sanon primary school in Abidjan.
Savoir Ivoire's mission is to promote educational development in Côte d'Ivoire. It equips 10 schools with school and teaching supplies collected in France. It improves the environment for students by renovating buildings and classrooms and creating botanical gardens that are tended by the pupils.
The Commandant Sanon school was renovated thanks to funding from the Air France Foundation in 2022, but does not have suitable sanitary facilities. This situation is often experienced by students, as revealed by the newspaper Le Monde in an article published on 17/08/23: "In Côte d'Ivoire, some 50% of urban schools, all levels combined, are not equipped with functional sanitary facilities, and up to 65% in rural areas". Work is essential if this school, which aims to be a benchmark school, is to provide a healthy, high-quality environment for students. All this in a context where, for many years and after a major political crisis in the country, the state school system has been totally neglected. Savoir Ivoire has been fighting for access to quality education for 19 years.
