I had already been scammed once by an agency before finding RING. The assessment refocused me on what was realistic for my application. It took 14 months but I eventually got admitted at Lyon 2. Honestly, on my own, I wouldn't have made it.
Between Africa and Europe, RING supports students, funds educational projects and equips schools. A non-profit of general interest, the social arm of EDUFREM.
RING turns student mobility and education into a lever for community prosperity - each individual journey, in turn, funds local projects that help the whole ecosystem grow.
RING is not just another non-profit. It's a living ecosystem where every member (student, school, project leader, supporter) moves the others forward.

I've always cared about helping those who need it, opening pathways, and bringing people together. That's exactly why RING was born.
The name is no accident. In French, a ring is a place where fights take place. And student mobility, schooling, orientation choices: these are fights. For those who face them, and for their families.
I want RING to be the corner coach for every person stepping into this ring - before, during and after the fight. Someone who prepares, supports through the effort, celebrates the wins or helps you back up.
And in English, ring also means a circle. That's exactly the circular mutual-aid community we are building: each individual journey, in turn, funds the next. A circle that never stops.
Trackable results, measured to the EDU Credit.
The EDU Credit is the traceable unit of value created by EDUFREM to guarantee full transparency on education funding. Every EDU follows a verifiable journey - from donor to recipient - ensuring each contribution generates real, measurable impact.
Real journeys, not just numbers. Here's what those already inside the circle have to say.

Before MAPO we tracked enrollments on Excel and paper. With the tool, our first back-to-school saved us three weeks of admin work. Parents now get reports straight on WhatsApp - that's what they had been asking for years.
What convinced me was being able to track where every cent goes, project by project, in the dashboard. I committed 2,500 EDU to three different projects last year and got progress reports every quarter. I'm continuing this year.
RING does more than just connect people. Three tech-for-good tools, built by EDUFREM, keep the circle running every day.
