In September 2025, ASEF met with its students across all districts of operation to distribute school supplies ahead of the 2025-2026 academic year. Students from all districts, including both current beneficiaries and the new 2025 cohort, were excited to attend the meetings.

Many parents accompanied their children to help carry the supplies. The smiles on every student’s face reflected both gratitude and readiness for the new academic year.

“We had no hope for Angélique’s studies after she passed the national examinations. But now that ASEF is supporting her, we believe she will succeed. Angélique is the first child in our family to attend a boarding school, and we are very happy for this support.”
— Uwayezu, mother of Angélique (2025 cohort)
