Comment from JDC papeterie & Co:

As she's an ambassador of UNICEF, we have like a feeling that the production of Educational support tools will follow UP and our banking system will get the support that they need for the fufillment of the copy book and note book production that has to be done locally.

As mentionned in our business profile the project is support to the millenium challenge 2015"when a notorious person come and support partners or futur partners of a programm we are really delighted that such person come and realise what 's missing for the sucess of such challenges UNICEF alone can not reach it alone.
We social entrepreneurs has to put our hands in the dough and create what is necessary to reach such challenge let me give you an example and talk about those people that is our target Burundi has a lot's of rewarding crops like coffee tea tabacco etc... in the area where we are planning to put more marketing pressure it's area where we are producing tobacco and some times those crops can not reward as we can expect that why social entrepreneur in all sector will have to promote education if the want to increase the peoples yield.
And in,vest in the health sector, we have prepared it all for that region as that area could be the last in sending children in schools we believe with the support of Burundian and region social entrepreneur will support and reach the goal of the millennium challenge 2015 for an education for easly with the right tools
