Digital solidarity
For many years we have been supporting projects that encourage learning in the countries where we are present. As we extend this commitment, digital education is now our priority. For people in difficulty, it is a driver of equal opportunity for the future: access to personal rights, the jobs market, content (online learning, free encyclopaedias, teaching videos…), the new digital manufacturing sector ( FabLabs )… digital is a new way of learning, a door to new activities for people who are currently excluded.

For several years now, the marvellous potential of digital technology has helped us to expand our initiatives: equipping African schools with digital teaching kits, encouraging online training, installing and operating digital technology in places of free learning - to help women and young people who have dropped out of school...


Today, we are developing digital education programmes: "Ecoles Numériques" (digital schools) for the most underprivileged children in Africa; "Ateliers Numériques" (digital workshops) and "FabLabs Solidaires" for young school dropouts; "Digital Centres" for unskilled and unemployed women.
