The Ivorian government is expanding support for students from underprivileged communities by distributing 5,000 financial aid packages this year.

This initiative, alongside existing scholarship programs, aims to provide relief to struggling students and their families.

The effort is part of a broader solidarity campaign, which includes food contributions and financial support, coinciding with Muslim fasting and Christian Lent.

Authorities say the initiative underscores the government’s commitment to educational access and social welfare.
