Published on 06/11/2025
On October 31, 2025, CIS Chad celebrated Tree Day at the Official School of Mainani under the theme “One tree planted, my village moves forward.” This event, which brought together over 500 participants, once again demonstrated CIS Chad‘s commitment to education, solidarity, and environmental protection. Aligned with its “A Brighter Future” program, this initiative has a dual purpose: raising awareness among young people about the importance of the environment while supporting their educational journey.
CIS Chad and tree day: an educational and environmental project
100 trees for a greener future
The Tree Day at Mainani is a continuation of a project launched by CIS Chad on July 30, 2024, which involved planting 100 trees in the area. These trees represent hope for transforming the city of Mainani and the lives of its residents. By educating students and residents on the importance of preserving their environment, this initiative contributes to combating deforestation and climate change—critical challenges for Chad and the entire Sahel region.
The event brought together the community, including students, parents, teachers, and local leaders. The message was clear: together, education and ecology can turn villages into engines of development.
Education at the core of CIS Chad’s priorities
Donations to support students and schools
Beyond its ecological commitment, CIS Chad’s teams used this event to renew their support for education in Mainani. Several contributions were made, including: school supplies: donations of notebooks, pens, chalk, and slates for students, financial support: coverage of school registration fees for 100 students, enabling them to continue their studies, t-shirts for participants: distributed to students and parents, support for teaching staff: a bicycle was gifted to the school principal to facilitate his transportation.
Supporting education and the well-being of children has always been a priority for CIS Chad in all its initiatives.

Supporting children and young adults
Education is a central pillar of CIS Chad’s vision. Beyond schools, the company actively supports several orphanages in N’Djamena, including the “Dieu Bénit” orphanage, which shelters around 100 children.
Through donations of school supplies, classroom renovations, and access to electricity, CIS Chad ensures that every child can succeed in their studies and access professional training.
