Le Lycée Alhéri Tillabéri, fondé en 1998 située à 110 km (70 miles) au nord-ouest de la capitale du Niger. L'école accueille environ 300 élèves chaque année à travers 11 niveaux scolaires. Bien que les frais de scolarité soient trois fois moins élevés que dans la capitale, de nombreux parents qui inscrivent leurs enfants ne sont pas en mesure de payer les frais et les livres scolaires.
GARDEN STATE CANDLES - Ethical, eco-conscious, and artisanal!

Maya Sriqui | Founder & Creative Director (Rochambeau forever- 2009)

It's been almost a year that Maya's business, Garden State Candles blossomed. Their candles are sleek, modern designed, combined with simple yet original fragrances. The soy wax is 100% natural, and scented with botanical fragrance oils and essential oils, which are rigorously selected for their aroma-therapy properties.

Sporting a logo inspired by her loving adopted dog, Louee — Maya donates part of the profits to support  t he animal rescue shelter in Berlin, making a purchase from Garden State a way to show your love!

Garden State est un label de bougies artisanales, naturelles, vegan et versées à la main, qui a fleuri en avril 2017 à Berlin. La cire de soja est 100% naturelle, non polluante, elle est parfumée aux fragrances fines et aux huiles essentielles.

#adoptdontshop, c’est la devise de Maya la fondatrice de GARDEN STATE, qui reverse une part des bénéfices de son entreprise de bougies à cette cause. C’est aussi l’éthique inspirée par Louee, un jeune boxer de la SPA adopté par Maya il y a 4 ans, et dont il est le symbole. Aujourd'hui une portion des fonds sont donnés à un chenil des animaux à Berlin.

...and a little extra love for Rochambeau.

"Rochambeau made University feel like a piece of cake. I graduated with the "Rochambeau Forever" certificate, so this school is part of my roots and a huge part of my identity. I learned so much from our program, from my peers (there's just something about us Rochambeau kids that make us stick together, no matter the distances) and from the perseverance of my teachers, who ingrained in me "you can do better" - always pushing us to surpass ourselves and ultimately gifting us with the proper tools to succeed in the world.

I am forever grateful to Rochambeau for the memories I rejoice in and the knowledge I gained and apply to be the best young woman entrepreneur I can be."
