2026 Back-to-School campaign: together for their success

The Endeavour Foundation’s 2026 Back-to-School Campaign supported 1,737 beneficiaries this year through three complementary programmes. Held annually, the campaign promotes education, academic excellence and equal opportunity for young people in our host communities and among our employees’ families. The annual campaign supports our ESG 2030 commitment to empowering host communities and UN Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education, which aims to give every child access to inclusive, quality education and lifelong learning.

Jeunes en Scolarité

This year, we opened up Jeunes Filles en Scolarité (Girls in Education) to young boys, and supported 895 young people to continue in their secondary education, including 510 children in Tanda near our Assafou project.

Pépites d’Or

This long-standing initiative focuses on academic excellence, recognising 822 children of employees this year for their high grades in secondary school exams and awarding tablets, laptops and educational books to reward their performance.

Élites de Demain

Supporting students into further education and specialist fields is equally important, and we were proud to support 20 talented students from local communities into university education through Élites de Demain this year. Some students from the programme have followed studies with an internship at our mines, and even employment.

Voices from Tanda

This year marked the campaign’s second edition in Tanda, near our Assafou project, where young people shared their ambitions for the future.

“I welcome Endeavour Mining’s initiative, and I hope to receive this scholarship next year. I want to become a magistrate, and the scholarship will help me achieve this dream.”

“The scholarship has enabled me to achieve one of my greatest dreams: studying abroad in the field of my choice, mining and technology, at a prestigious university in Ghana.”

By investing in young people from our host communities and our employees’ families, we are making education a tangible driver of development and opportunity for generations to come.
