Education of girls
Of the 15 girls supported, all advanced to the next grade, and 3 received a national award for excellence (FECADD Prize). The path in French, reported without smoothing, was one of demanding learning: a solid start, a mid-year plateau, then recovery. Families report more diligent, more confident girls.

Economic autonomy of rural women
One hundred women trained and supported; five autonomous groups operational, each with a production tool and a collectively managed savings fund. The most significant effect lies in the savings mechanism, which gives women largely deprived of monetary income their first access to savings and credit, anchoring the activity over time.

Voices from the field
« At first I was her mentor in the programme. Today, Thalia is like my daughter. I support her beyond the sessions: English lessons, access to resources. What moves me is this passing of the torch between us, women and girls: we inspire one another. »

« Sandra wants to become an architect and I work in real estate. I don't just see a promising student: I see a future colleague. I will keep guiding her in her passion so she can grow. »

« In the Central African Republic, human capital remains our greatest challenge. If more organisations followed MBÛRÜ's example, far fewer girls would drop out of school. CIONGCA stands alongside the Foundation on this programme. »
