Frequently Asked
Questions
Contact us via support if you have any more questions.
Why was this foundation created instead of supporting existing ones?
A specific need was identified: educational resilience and interculturality. The scholarships provided are not only intended to cover tuition fees but also to recognize and celebrate the resilience of young people facing academic and personal challenges. The foundation uniquely acknowledges resilience as a driving force for school perseverance and academic success.
What types of projects or initiatives does the foundation support?
The foundation funds scholarships in Canada and Benin and, in the long term, plans to build a learning and recreation center in Benin.
Why establish a recreation center in Benin instead of Canada?
While Canada already has accessible infrastructure, many young people in Benin lack structured spaces for holistic development. The center will provide a meeting, training, and motivation space, contributing to personal and academic growth.
How does the foundation measure its impact and effectiveness?
Scholars' progress is tracked, financial reports are published, and donors receive regular updates on the foundation’s activities and impact.
What are the expected outcomes after awarding scholarships?
