Mustard Tree / Arbre De Vie Association

Mustard Tree / Arbre De Vie Association is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov with its primary location in Bouake, Côte d'Ivoire. As a sole proprietorship, the organization focuses on educational and cultural development initiatives in West Africa, specifically targeting professional and community enhancement programs. The entity has demonstrated a commitment to cross-cultural engagement and skills development through its federal grant activities, working closely with U.S. government agencies to implement strategic educational and cultural exchange projects.

The organization has secured three significant federal grant awards from two key U.S. government agencies: the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the Bureau of African Affairs. These grants encompass diverse projects aimed at professional development and infrastructure improvement. The first grant, awarded in October 2023, focused on a Business English language skills program for professionals in Abidjan and Bouake, designed to enhance business communication capabilities. A subsequent grant in October 2024 involved remodeling four American shelves or reading spaces in Côte d'Ivoire, with the goal of improving functional spaces and their aesthetic appeal. The most recent grant, dated September 2025, supports the Andrew Young Center for Entrepreneurship through equipment provision, operational support, programming, and promotional activities. Each grant demonstrates the organization's multifaceted approach to educational empowerment, cultural exchange, and professional skills development in the Ivorian context.
