This summer, Elevatus Foundation organized a special camp dedicated to learning, creativity, and new opportunities for children in our community. With the launch of a pilot program in computer literacy, alongside sewing and English classes, we took another step forward in equipping the next generation with practical skills for the future.

Introducing Computer Literacy

Thanks to the purchase of new computers, we were able to start a pilot program in computer literacy. The children began with general computer education to familiarize themselves with basic functions, and then moved on to typing practice (dactylographie) to strengthen their hands and build confidence at the keyboard.

Organizing the Groups

A total of 40 children participated in the camp. To make teaching easier and more effective, they were divided into smaller groups: sewing and computer literacy were taught in separate groups, while English lessons brought everyone together. The computer literacy sessions were divided into groups of eight, with each group taking turns, ensuring every child had hands-on learning time.

Sewing Skills and Creativity

The sewing (couture) workshops introduced the children to practical and creative projects. They learned how to make light bags, pencil cases, chouchous (scrunchies), and even a traditional "sac kenda homana." In addition, recycling workshops encouraged them to create beautiful and useful items such as bonbonnières, flower decorations, and decorated jars from recycled materials.

Celebrating Academic Success

This summer was also a time to celebrate achievements outside the camp: 16 of our 23 students who took the baccalaureate exams succeeded. We are proud of their hard work and perseverance, and this result motivates us to continue supporting both education and skills training.

Looking Ahead

The camp is not yet complete, as some children are still on vacation, but we are excited to gather again soon for photos and to celebrate the progress made together. What we have already seen is clear: with the right support and resources, children can learn, create, and grow in confidence.

We thank our supporters and partners for making this possible. Together, we are opening new doors of opportunity and building a brighter future for these children.
