The initiative translates into the distribution of 700 school kits, each estimated at 40,000 CFA francs, designed to reward academic excellence among students on the eve of the school reopening.


The city of Bamenda received 350 kits distributed among 100 students from the Francophone subsystem and 250 from the Anglophone curriculum, just as Ombé did, with 150 primary school laureates and 200 holders of the First School Leaving Certificate. Each kit includes an ergonomically designed backpack with reflective strips, also serving as a visual support to relay messages on preventing underage alcoholism. A detachable voucher, redeemable at a network of partner bookstores, further ensures full autonomy for families when purchasing textbooks.


Faced with persistent challenges weakening the social fabric in these regions, private sector intervention brings tangible relief to local communities and teaching staff. This action aligns with the company’s global corporate social responsibility strategy, structured around six major pillars including health, environment, and education. By leveraging its industrial strength, supported by subsidiaries specializing in glassware and mineral water, and aligning it with solidarity initiatives, the group confirms its status as an economic actor deeply rooted in community development.
