Your donation builds wells, equips pupils for the new school year and brings food parcels to families in Senegal.
Thanks to you, we act directly in the field: we build wells, buy school supplies for children and distribute food parcels.
WaterSince January 2020, wells have been built in around twenty villages of Casamance, between Sédhiou and Bambali.
EducationEvery year since 2020, backpacks, pens, exercise books and geometry sets for the pupils of Boudheimar, Popenguine and Kodjo: 700 children supported.
FoodDuring the lean period before the harvest, or when forest fires destroy crops, we distribute food parcels to farming families, notably during Ramadan.
In 2019, Mamadou Diouf, a teacher in the village of Boudheimar, told Ali Chtouki that the school well had collapsed. The children had to cross the village — and a road — to fetch water to drink and clean the classrooms.
A fundraiser among friends, family and colleagues launched the construction of the first well, in January 2020. Other wells followed, along with school supplies and food parcels. In 2023, Listen Learn Afrika became an association.

6 classes from first to fifth grade, plus an integration class for children who often speak only local languages. 250 pupils in total.
Since 2021, the distribution has also reached the primary schools of Popenguine and Kodjo: 700 pupils in total.
In Boudheimar, the school well spares children from crossing the village and a road to fetch water for drinking and cleaning the classrooms.
Mamadou Diouf, a teacher in Boudheimar, is in charge of coordinating our operations in Senegal.
Our actions are concentrated in Casamance, between Sédhiou and Bambali, and in other villages of Senegal.
