Education is seen as the key to break through the deep poverty. With these school scholarships at Youchaou's School you can allow kids being able to read and write, learn the most important things to find a job later.

The vision of our primary and secondary school “Youchaou” was dreamt by the local community leader in Kalabancoro, Youchaou Traore. Many families in Kalabancoro would approach Youchaou and plead for a school to which they could send their kids. Construction and expansion has been supported by the Mali Initiative since 2004. Now the children need help to cover the school fees and equipment.

Quality education for the poor is a major focus for our schools and so class sizes are limited to 35 students. Teachers undergo regular training to improve their teaching techniques, ensuring that students are engaged and are learning effectively. Computers have been donated by the Australian Telecommunications Company Telstra. Computers and the internet facilitate learning for students, teachers and staff.

    Zusammen mit Jürgen und dem Rest des Sterntaler-Vereins unterstütze ich dieses Projekt insbesondere, weil man sehen kann, wie die kleinen Aktivitäten zu einem großen Erfolg und Freude bei den Einheimischen führen. Vor allem die Kinder sind für jede Hilfe dankbar und geben es durch ihre Herzlichkeit tausendfach zurück! Bitte unterstützen auch Sie die Kinder und/oder das Mali-Projekt!

    Ich hatte die Gelegenheit im November 2008 die Schule in einem Aussenbezirk Bamakos zu besuchen. Juergen Nagler war so freundlich mir einen ausfuehrlichen Einblick in die Schule zu gewaehren und wir hatten die Gelegenheit ueber Hilfsprojekte, Bildung vor Ort, Chancen der Kinder, finanzielle Fragen, die allgemeine Arbeitssituation und vieles mehr zu reden. An dieser Stelle nochmal ein grosses Dankeschoen an Juergen, der mich herzlich empfangen hat und ein laengerer Aufenthalt vor Ort nur durch meine eigene Zeitplanung verhindert wurde. Die Schule jedenfalls sticht aus seiner Umgebung bereits optisch hervor, hat mittlerweile 3 Etage und beherbergt 9 Klassen mit durchschnittlichen Klassenstaerken von etwa 25 Kindern. Fuer Lehrmaterial und Schulkleidung ist gesorgt und der allgemeine Eindruck ist sehr positiv. Nach meinem eintaegigen Aufenthalt vor Ort kann ich jedenfalls nur zu dem Schluss kommen, dass die Kinder, die in den Genuss der Stipendien kommen eine fuer hiesige Verhaeltnisse aussergewoehnlich gute Bildung erhalten werden und in gute Haende eines motiviertem Teams gelangen.
