Where We Work
Harnessing the power of education as a driving force to transform communities.
Impactful Education in Anyama
“Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.”
– Kofi Annan –
Where We Work
Anyama, is a rural town in Ivory Coast’s Abidjan Department, known for its agricultural production of kola nuts, palm oil, and coffee, which are significant contributors to the country’s exports and economy.
Despite the agricultural success, the town’s education system faces major challenges. The scarcity of resources like books and computers limits the youth’s learning, literacy, and digital engagement.
The absence of a public library further deprives the youth of a crucial learning environment, exacerbating the town’s educational gaps.
Educational Challenges in Anyama
We are committed to transforming these numbers.

Our Transformative Journey in Anyama
Before the initiation of Impactful Education, the students of Anyama lacked even a single educational hub or library, and we are aware that there is still much to accomplish.
“No matter who or where we are, or what our capabilities, we are called to do the best we can.”

Hear from our Young Learners
Gossan Yapo
Hello. My name is Gossan Yapo Pierre-Marie Josaphat, and I am a student in 11th grade at Lycee Moderne d’Anyama. I now come to the school library almost every day because it helps me learn. I love how I can get support in school subjects but also a deeper understanding in areas of interest like learning about other countries, medicine, and science.
Sangare Korotoumou
My name is Sangare Korotoumou, and I am in 8th grade. I am happy to see that my school now has a library, and staff are always ready to help us find the resources we need for our schoolwork. I love how the
library is organized into sections, with fiction and non-fiction books neatly sorted, and special areas for textbooks and academic references, as well as novels. Overall, it’s a quiet place where I can study and access books and knowledge
Akue Monney
I am Akue Monney Junior Raoul Josiace, and I am a student in 12th grade. I come to the school library every day because it gives me a deep understanding of school subjects and helps me learn more about our class lessons. It also helps me understand difficult words. Dear friends, I advise you to come to our Impactful Education library to access free technology and literacy resources.
Traore Saba
My name is Traore Saba Beroukhia, and I am in 10th grade. What I personally like about the library is the computer side, which is fun, especially when I play the
math games. Before the library, I didn’t know how to use computers, but now I love using them and even doing research on them. In addition, I have exercises available that help me learn and practice.
“We shall measure our progress by the improvement in the health of our people; by the number of children in school, and by the quality of their education; by the availability of water and electricity in our towns and villages, and by the happiness which our people take in being able to manage their own affairs.”
