On Saturday, September 14, 2024, the Honourable Deputy PASSOLI Abelim lent his support to destitute pupils and orphans in the Sotouboua 2 commune. The school kit handover ceremony, which took place at the Adjengré cultural center, distributed essential supplies for the educational careers of many young people. The aim of this gesture is to ease families' back-to-school expenses.

Kits to promote academic success

The donated school kits included a variety of essential items for schoolchildren: 150 school bags, 2,120 notebooks, 300 pens, 150 geometric sets, 150 slates, pencils and 24 boxes of chalk. This significant aid, divided between the six cantons of the commune, is part of a long-term effort to promote education and support pupils in their studies despite the economic difficulties of their families.

Continued support for the Head of State's actions

In presenting this gift, the Hon. PASSOLI Abelim recalled the vision of the Head of State, Mr. Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé, who places youth at the heart of his national policy. "Students occupy a special place in our country's politics. That's why the Head of State thinks of them at the start of each new school year by offering kits to relieve parents," he declared.
