Our partners...
None of this would have been possible without them!
We are deeply grateful to our long-time partners, with whom we have shared this journey for several years. Their unwavering support has been invaluable, and we want to express our heartfelt thanks to each of them.
Livina Foundation
Livina Foundation, guided by its founder, has been a key partner of Ti Rayons Soleil since 2018.
Initially, the Foundation supported our after-school educational program in Vacoas. Over time, this partnership evolved into something truly special, with us now collaborating on large-scale projects. From academic and nutritional support to co-managing three preschools together, our relationship with Livina Foundation is unique, and there is nothing quite like it. We are immensely grateful for the extraordinary work accomplished every day, thanks to their exceptional support.
Projects carried out with the support of Livina Foundation:
• Administrative support: covering salaries for part of our administrative team
• Nutritional support (for 45 children)
• Establishment and co-management of 3 preschools (including CARE team activities, equipment, and construction work)
• Transportation support with the provision of 2 vans
• Logistical support
• Christmas gifts
• Educational outings
• Play Centre “Les Boulbouls”
• "Dessine moi un mouton" project
Afrasia Foundation
Our collaboration with Afrasia Bank began in 2015 with a golf training program for children who showed promise in the sport. Over the course of two years, Afrasia Bank provided mentorship and training at golf courses across the island, giving these young talents the opportunity to grow.
This partnership led to the creation of Afrasia School, which opened in January 2018, made possible by the support of the European Union’s Decentralised Cooperation Programme in Mauritius.
Today, our work with Afrasia Foundation continues through a dedicated management committee that focuses on the education of 45 vulnerable children from four neighborhoods in Curepipe, as well as improving the living conditions of their families.
Thanks to the Afrasia Foundation, we have received essential assistance during natural disasters and in urgent situations. Every year, the children are also generously celebrated with holiday gifts.
The foundation’s support has also made it possible for our former students to benefit from the Children University program, which continues to thrive and capture the growing interest of the children.
NSIF
As a key institutional partner, the National Social Inclusion Foundation (NSIF) plays an essential role in Mauritius. Since its establishment, Ti Rayons Soleil has been able to receive CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)
funds through our registration with this organization, which operates under the Ministry of Social Integration.
In 2020, Ti Rayons Soleil was officially recognized as a “service provider” by the NSIF, which has ensured that our After School program continues to receive consistent funding each year. This partnership guarantees financial stability for projects that impact 160 children, 100 of whom benefit directly from NSIF funds.
The NSIF’s officers conduct thorough field monitoring and regular follow-ups, ensuring meaningful progress and a productive collaboration on the ground.
Since 2008, this project has proven its worth. By providing educational activities and dinner after school, we create opportunities for children to engage in different forms of learning and progress. We focus on addressing the children’s challenges and helping them advance in their studies. Numerous prevention workshops, gardening sessions, and horse therapy activities have allowed us to build a truly unique program.
Key elements of the program include:
• Tracking children’s progress in core subjects and addressing areas of difficulty
• Early referrals to professionals for further support
• Literacy and numeracy support
• Educational games
• Listening sessions
• Fun exercises for learning math and writing
• Educational outings
• Dinner provision
• Parental support programs
• Ongoing social support
Bio Culture Cares
We recently had the great pleasure of welcoming Bio Culture Cares as one of our new partners.
This meaningful collaboration brings renewed momentum to our projects and reinforces our efforts on the ground. With the support of Bio Culture, we are able to work with greater ease and efficiency, allowing us to deepen our impact where it matters most.
Several joint initiatives will empower Ti Rayons Soleil to pursue excellence, especially in two of our core focus areas: ensuring access to quality education for vulnerable children and equipping women facing hardship with the tools they need to build greater independence and resilience.
I61 Foundation
We had the privilege of witnessing the birth of the I61 Foundation, and we are deeply honoured to collaborate with their dedicated team.
Together with its partners, I61 Foundation works to create lasting collective impact by building strong bridges between non-profit organizations and funders. Their mission supports acts of goodwill across Mauritius and beyond, addressing poverty, access to education, social justice, and providing emergency relief in times of crisis.
“Bringing hope to vulnerable communities through our mission of restoration, renewal, and rebuilding.”
M.O.L. Charitable Trust
A locally-driven initiative that allocates funding to short-term projects, typically lasting less than a year. Managed in Mauritius, the Trust focuses on smaller, more specialised projects with strong local ties, selected based on their alignment with the United Nations’ 10 Sustainable Development Goals.
Projects and activities may receive support of up to MUR 1 million per project, fully funded by MOL. All project selections are made by the Trust’s Executive Committee.
MOL Contribution: 300 million yen
QAIR
Ti Rayons Soleil has always had one foot firmly planted in the world of social and circular economy, by choice, and out of a deep belief that these are meaningful alternatives for the non-profit sector.
Qair’s mission and values have naturally aligned with ours, particularly in the areas of circular economy and sustainable energy production. This partnership holds real promise, both for the region and for the communities we serve.
CDL Knits Ltd
We have launched a new circular economy initiative in collaboration with CDL and a group of 15 women, who are learning innovative weaving and braiding techniques using industrial offcuts. CDL provides the raw materials and the training, while we support the women in developing the skills to become entrepreneurs.
Foodwise
Foodwise shares the same mission as many NGOs: to make a real difference in the lives of those they serve. They support us by ensuring access to a reliable food supply, a lifeline for many of our families living in extremely vulnerable conditions.
The regular donations we receive through them are absolutely vital. The Kadi Partaze initiative allows us to collect food donations at supermarket exits, with the active participation of our beneficiaries. It's a real privilege to work alongside Foodwise and benefit from their innovative spirit. . Thank you for your contagious energy and all the efforts you put into promoting food autonomy!
Providus Technologies Ltd
Providus Technologies Ltd, a leading enterprise software company, was deeply moved by the mission of the Anou Bouz Ansam (ANBA) youth initiative.
With their generous financial support and technical expertise, young participants were able to take part in computer training courses designed to prepare them for the professional world. This two-year program aims to give youth from vulnerable backgrounds access to hands-on training, helping them move toward careers that truly interest them. Building self-confidence and fostering independence in their personal lives are also central goals of this empowerment-focused initiative.
A heartfelt thank you to Providus Technologies Ltd for standing with us.
Ecovadis
We deeply appreciate the support from Ecovadis, which has been championing the cause of children and youth since 2022. Their contributions have been vital to our educational support programs and the ANBA youth project. This partnership motivates our team to continually strive for excellence, elevating the quality of our work to new heights. A heartfelt thank you to Ecovadis for their unwavering support!
Embassy of Japan in Mauritius
Having witnessed firsthand the poverty in certain neighbourhoods, the Embassy of Japan has chosen to support Ti Rayons Soleil through various projects. Thanks to their generous donation of a 15-seat Toyota van, we were able to successfully carry out our meal distribution project for vulnerable families, achieving a number of important goals. We are deeply grateful for their commitment to our cause and are proud of the strong collaboration between Japan and Mauritius, from which we benefit.
Dayforce Cares
Formerly known as Ceridian Cares, Dayforce Cares has played a vital role in supporting families in distress and contributing to our educational support program.
We truly value their kindness and generosity, as they are always there when we need them. Time and again, children with limited access to recreational activities have had the opportunity to enjoy educational outings.
"In a world full of chaos, a child's smile is a ray of sunshine." Thank you, Dayforce Cares!
A2G Group
Providing nutritional support through SDG number 2 to all the children and young people enrolled in our programs is a core part of Ti Rayons Soleil's mission. We are deeply grateful to A2G Group for their incredible generosity in renovating our kitchen, which is now fully equipped. Hot meals are prepared there daily. This new kitchen is a dream come true and has brought immense joy to our cook. We sincerely thank A2G for their unwavering dedication to helping those in need.
Decentralised Cooperation Program de l’Union Européenne - DCP EU
For 12 years, we have had the pleasure of working alongside the DCP EU and its dedicated teams.
Our partnership with this representative of the European Union in the Indian Ocean, focused on combating poverty, has been instrumental in strengthening our NGO, our practices, governance, and working methods. With a committed team always available to address our questions, close monitoring, and true support in large-scale projects, the DCP EU has played a vital role in helping Ti Rayons Soleil become what it is today. Their high standards in project management and evaluation have enabled us to refine our interventions over the past 12 years, ultimately benefiting the well-being of our beneficiaries. We are incredibly grateful for the funds we’ve received throughout these years, which have enabled us to build truly impactful projects.
Orange Business
Our long-term partnership with Orange Business focuses primarily on Vacoas. We have been fortunate to rely on their steadfast support over the years, which has significantly shaped our projects in Vacoas, particularly the After School program. Employees from OB have been actively involved, especially in the "Orange Dads" program, where fathers from the company came to play board games or games they had created with their children. Many celebrations and moments of joy have filled these years!
Partnerships with Other NGOs
In line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17, which focuses on partnerships to achieve these goals, Ti Rayons Soleil works closely with other NGOs whose expertise complements our own.
Association l’Etoile
We have maintained a long-standing collaboration in the area of early childhood education.
APSA International
APSA is a dynamic and professional NGO, highly responsive in addressing type II diabetes. Many of our beneficiaries, both young and old, have benefited from their essential care and follow-up, even in the most complex cases. APSA has supported several of our programs by testing beneficiaries and assessing the prevalence of type II diabetes.
A Big Thank You!
These joint efforts have strengthened our partnerships and made us more resilient in the fight against poverty and the education of vulnerable people.
A huge thank you to all these professionals who share their advice, expertise, and innovative solutions to help us move forward together.
