Since its creation in 2006, Paper 4 All's key objective has been to distribute school supplies to the greatest number of primary school pupils as possible, starting with one school initially, l'Ecole de la Cité de l'Avenir. Three years later, Paper 4 All has quadrupled its reach and is now distributing supplies to four schools :
These distributions take place every three months in order to renew supplies frequently and avoid some of the things we used to see in those schools before our intervention : writing in notebook margins, writing on top of old lessons in a different color, sharing notebooks between siblings, sharing pens and pencils between different classes, pupils without a reading book or notebook... The need for those supplies is still important and the impact is very strong on those pupils everyday lives and learning conditions.
You will find the details of each of our actions below, as well as some pictures !
