Again this year, on the occasion of the International Day of Education on January 24, we look back together with CO-OPERAID on a successful year of CO-OPERAID’s “Talents” program.
The “Talents” program gives motivated and talented teenagers and young adults from disadvantaged families in less developed countries – currently from Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos and Kenya – the opportunity to complete an education at a technical college or study at a university. We are delighted that OCCIDENT, as an anchor donor in this program, has already been able to support over 100 students by the end of 2023!
Whether as a doctor, nurse, kindergarten teacher, schoolteacher, or lawyer, 50 scholarship holders have already been able to complete their education in recent years, and a further 57 will be actively supported in 2024. The aim is giving exceptional talents a chance to improve not only their own lives, but also those of their families and the entire community.
This is another way in which we at OCCIDENT create added value for society. We wish all our scholarship holders a successful year!
