Nu Bai is a non-profit association founded in 2012 in Cape Verde that actively cooperates with local institutions, and in particular with ICCA (Instituto Cabo-Verdiano da Criança e do Adolescente), the Sal City Council, the Caritas Association of Santa Maria, and with the professional requalification sector of the Sal Prison. The primary project of the Association consists in granting scholarships to high school students who come from disadvantaged families; the highest school dropout in fact happens in that phase. Moreover, Nu Bai, in cooperation with the Sal City Council, distributes school materials to the kindergartens and primary schools on the island. The purpose of the scholarship project is to help vulnerable children and teenagers who may experience different situations of social shortcoming: from socio-educational problems to health issues, nutritional / food problems, etc. After being included in the project, families feel safer regarding their children’s possibility of getting an education and a better future. Children and teens, on the other hand, feel more motivated, thus increasing their rate of academic success. The impact of the project, according to local social workers, has been significant on the island of Sal, raising the average level of schooling and allowing many young people to continue their studies through scholarships or to enter the working world with adequate preparation. Another of Nu Bai’s objectives is to help young women by supporting the costs of their studies and training courses, or by organizing internships to improve their position in the working world and consequently within society.
