The Elementary Education for All (EEA) project supports PICAM’s Development and Humanitarian Assistance programs. It is primarily aimed at helping the poor, orphaned, and underprivileged get elementary education. This project is limited to primary school education only and covers children attending or willing to attend both government (public) and mission primary schools up to 10000 frs CFA (about $20) per year in tuition and fees or associated cost.

This project does not commit PICAM in any way to a contract to provide continuous assistance to any particular child until completion of primary school. While a child in need may benefit for as many a six years from this project, each school year will be considered separately for eligibility and a determination made based on a needs review conducted by PICAM for that year.

The EEA project specifically targets children who would otherwise not be able to afford primary school education, or would do so in extremely difficult circumstances. While the project primarily aim to provide tuition and fees for such children, PICAM may decide to provide additional assistance such as school supplies including books, pens, pencils, rulers, etc depending on the nature and extent of donations and funding for this project. Beneficiaries of the EEA project will have their photos and case history to include names, address, purpose of grant, manner of selection, etc, on file with PICAM and we reserve the right to post such photos on its website as appropriate for purposes of this project.

To ensure that most of the children this project seeks to help actually do have access to our resources, PICAM will engage with orphanages, local organizations, community initiative groups, village development organizations, primary school headmasters, and Priests and Pastors in rural areas who are involved in humanitarian work with children, and can be of assistance in ensuring that the money and supplies for this project are actually used for the intended purpose.
