Isaac and Adam Mfaddel offer a digital future to the children of the Bab Rayan orphanage
The Mfaddel brothers, students at Lycée Lyautey, turned months of savings and hard work into twenty refurbished computers — a gesture that opens a window to the world for dozens of orphaned children.
Sometimes generosity takes unexpected forms. Not a hastily written cheque, nor an action carried out under the spotlight — but a patient project, built over months, driven by two teenagers with a simple conviction: technology is the world of tomorrow, and everyone deserves access to it.
Isaac and Adam Mfaddel, both students at Lycée Lyautey, first heard about the Bab Rayan association through classmates who had mentioned it during school presentations. The organisation welcomes orphans of all ages and supports them in their development. After several visits on site, the two brothers knew exactly what they wanted to do.
“We told ourselves this was the world of tomorrow. And we wanted to help this association and give the young children of the orphanage access to computers and the digital world.”

A thoughtfully planned donation
The two brothers did not simply buy machines. They visited several vendors, selected twenty second-hand PCs, completely wiped and reformatted them before getting them back in working order. The equipment delivered also includes wireless mice, original cables, and a few printers.
But their approach goes even further: they reached out to a partner company to train the children in how to use computers, and a technician will provide weekly follow-up visits, ensuring the donation remains sustainable over time.
“It’s a pleasure to know that we were able, indirectly, to support these young people in their development for tomorrow.”
— Isaac MfaddelA quiet lesson in action
What stands out in this story is the absence of any grandstanding. Two teenagers who worked, saved, and planned — and who today deliver functioning equipment, complete with training and technical support. Not a symbolic gesture, but a structured, carefully thought-out project.
In a world where much is said about commitment and solidarity, Isaac and Adam Mfaddel chose to act. And that difference, as understated as it may be, is worth telling.
