The association

Listen Learn Afrika

A non-profit humanitarian association, born from a conversation and a well that needed rebuilding.

The beginning of a story

From a fundraiser among friends to an association

  1. 2019

    The idea

    During a conversation between Ali Chtouki and Mamadou Diouf about associations and well building, Mamadou explains that the well at the school where he teaches, in Boudheimar, has collapsed. The children cross the village and a road to fetch water. The idea: launch a fundraiser with friends, family and colleagues.

    The first well

    In January, the adventure begins with the Boudheimar school well. Driven by the enthusiasm of the group, many more wells follow in the villages between Sédhiou and Bambali, along with food distributions for farm workers and school supplies.

    Listen Learn Afrika is born

    As our actions grew, we needed to become more professional and form an association. This also allows us to plan larger projects: a nursery, a collaborative garden for women, a school bus for secondary pupils…
