What are our actions?
Our actions focus on three priorities: building wells, school supplies every September since 2020, and food aid.
The wells
Since January 2020, with the support of donors — colleagues, family, friends — and the reach of social networks, we have built wells in the villages of Casamance between Sédhiou and Bambali.
Today, around twenty villages are equipped with one or more drinking-water wells.
Primary school
The primary school of Boudheimar, in Casamance, has 6 classes from first to fifth grade, plus an integration class: children who often speak only local languages spend a year there before first grade. 250 pupils in total.
- Construction of a well
- Distribution of school supplies — pens, exercise books, geometry sets — every school year since 2020
Since 2021, we also distribute supplies in two other primary schools, in Popenguine and Kodjo: 700 pupils in total have benefited from this help.
Food distribution
In Boudheimar, people live mainly from growing cashew nuts, mangoes and citrus fruits.
Unfortunately there are lean periods before the harvest, or worse, when bush fires partly or totally destroy the crops. Around March, we organise food distributions to help the population.
Casamance, Senegal
Our actions are concentrated in Casamance, between Sédhiou and Bambali, and in other villages of Senegal.
We make it a point of honour to be transparent. During each operation, you are with us in the field via WhatsApp and Instagram, with weekly updates.
