Fondazione De Rigo H.E.ART Onlus supports the “Offering a Future” project for children in Côte d’Ivoire

The Project

Ensuring the right to education and schooling for children in so-called developing countries is essential to providing them with better future opportunities.

For this reason, Fondazione De Rigo H.E.ART Onlus decided to support the “Offering a Future” project led by the CEY Foundation (Centre Educatif Yablassou), in cooperation with the Missionary Office of the Diocese of Belluno-Feltre, for the renovation of a kindergarten in Béoumi, Côte d’Ivoire.

Béoumi is located in the Gbêkê region and is the capital of the department of the same name in central Côte d’Ivoire. Due to the civil war, and more recently the COVID-19 pandemic, the school building had fallen into disrepair, leaving young students without a suitable place to attend classes. The renovation of the kindergarten, carried out in collaboration with the local missionary and CEY Foundation staff, has therefore become essential to restoring an educational pathway in this savannah area, involving more than 40 children from the age of three. Children who now have a place to play and learn, to grow, imagine their future, and acquire the foundations to become active contributors to a better world.

The CEY Foundation (Centre Educatif Yablassou), led by Don Ezio Del Favero and Celia Solagna in cooperation with the Missionary Office of the Diocese of Belluno-Feltre, supports missionaries and humanitarian workers in developing countries through education and development projects aimed at offering children better life prospects. In addition to its work in Béoumi, the Foundation is also active in the village of Yablassou, in the interior of Côte d’Ivoire, where it has initiated several projects for children, including collective distance support programs and targeted educational facilities. These initiatives are expected to expand to other African countries and beyond.
