The Association “Child CARE Monaco” (Charity Association for the Right to Education) was founded February 2012. Their goal is; “to promote and help the education of disadvantaged children in the world”. After a world tour, Martine Ackermann and her family came back very involved and concerned about the children who do not have access to school education all over the world, this fundamental and precious right.

We began by sponsoring 20 street children in a district of Jaipur to give them access to school. In 2013 we visited a village far from everything, where girls did not go to school because they had to work to support their families, as is customary in many
countries.

The demand from the villagers to set up a school for girls motivated us to set up the first school in a grain silo which had been lent to us and which we have set up for the occasion. After 2 years of existence, the experiment proved fruitful; the attendance rate has steadily increased and so has the waiting list. Many mothers, aware of the importance of education for their daughter, did not want to offer them the same hard life that they endured and kept asking us during our visits. We then decided to build a new larger and more suitable school, which currently accommodates 110 girls.

Hepburn Bio Care have been supporting the girls shown in the photos for over 10 years. It is fantastic to see them doing so well and we always look forward to the wonderful photos and updates we receive from them.
