Starting the school with what you need – a good start indeed!

The first days of school are important for children. Giving them the chance to start the year with all their supplies is a priority for us.

Opération Bonne Mine provides financial support to families experiencing economic difficulties for school-related expenses: tuition fees and daycare, educational materials, school supplies, transportation, etc.
