Objectives:
- This project aims to equip six classrooms built on a land belonging to the parish of Our Lady of Cana. Thanks to GAM and the help of a Spanish benefactor, the project "Construction of training centers, Ivory Coast (2010)" was satisfactorily concluded.
- "Abobo, Avocatier" is a neighborhood where French is generally spoken and where poverty is properly installed. People living in this neighborhood consist mostly of women engaged in commercial activities, who can not read or write.
  Due to this problem, literacy courses are increasing day by day, but unfortunately they don’t have the necessary infrastructures to meet such demand.
