About us

Who are we?

Wallah We Can, which means “Yes we can” in Tunisian dialect, is an apolitical, non-religious Tunisian association, working to support children and youth in Tunisia.

Wallah We Can, operating since 2012, has multiplied its projects and actions in the fields of education, health and energy autonomy in schools.

Our story

In 2012, Lotfi Hamadi discovered the disastrous state of the Makthar public dormitory in the governorate of Siliana: a school in catastrophic conditions, that did not provide any physical or pedagogical comfort for its pupils. The existence of such institutional violence against children made it clear that Tunisia’s deterred development, stems from its incapacity to support children in their own development.

Hence the need to develop solutions to secure children a better living and studying environment, based on a sustainable project. Based on such considerations, the Greenschool concept was born, aiming to transform public schools into social and solidarity-based enterprises.

Vision

Investing in children, through education, for the development of the country

Our commitment towards the children on the ground

The Makthar dormitory, with 570 students, is the school where Wallah We Can has been developing different solutions since 2012. This project, which is being experimented locally, is meant to be extended to regional and national scales.
