Looking after Elles C Nous

Kessy Rama

A group of some 30 Aspen colleagues donated money, books, clothes and toys and attended the celebration at the Elles C Nous organization in Beau-Bassin, Mauritius.

Elles C Nous (They Are Us) – is a voluntary organization which provides after- school care to underprivileged children. The association welcomes 70 children between the ages of 5 and 17 after school and on Saturdays. The children are given a healthy meal and tutors help them with their homework and give them the opportunity to develop their artistic and musical talents.

Aspen Global supported the organization in different ways which includes providing a solar water system, outdoor shelter with purposefully made tables and benches; refurbishing the bathroom, toilets, electrical and plumbing systems; painting and decorating the compound wall and supplying each child with a warm tracksuit.
