We recognise local communities as essential partners and we’re proud to share a recent initiative delivered by our team at the Belinga Project in Gabon, supporting local schools near our drilling activities for Ivindo Iron.
Working closely with Ivindo Iron, the Direction d’Académie Provinciale (DAP) de L’Ogooué-Ivindo, and representatives from Gabon’s Ministry of National Education, we donated educational materials and stationery to M’Vhadi School and Mayibouth 1 & 2 Schools.
Across the three schools, donations included textbooks, mathematics and language learning materials, notebooks, attendance registers, chalk, pens, paper, scissors, staplers, and other essential classroom supplies to help support students and teachers alike.
Representatives attending the donations ceremonies included Mr Mba (Head of School District Service); Ms Nfono Asseko (Deputy DAP); Mr Saturday (Office Manager); Mr Jean Bruno (Ivindo Iron Community Leader).
The initiative forms part of our broader commitment to supporting community development objectives aligned with government priorities and our key CSI pillars: Quality Education, Health & Wellbeing, and Economic Growth.
We’d like to thank our client representatives, in particular Gaetan Rebouka (Community Investment Advisor, Ivindo Iron) and Martin Edwards (Principal - Communities - Belinga Iron Ore Project, Fortescue), the DAP de L’Ogooué-Ivindo, school principals, and all community stakeholders involved in making this initiative possible.
