The Open Days are about showing off and being proud

Senegal

A country in western Africa, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean. It became independent of France on the 4th of April 1960. It is one of the most politically stable countries in Africa. Nevertheless, it remains among the countries with the lowest level of social development. Almost a half of the country’s area is occupied by farming land, but farming is becoming increasingly difficult due to frequent climate shocks. The highest temperature of 48.8 °C has been recorded in Matam.

Overview:
  • 38% of the society lives below the threshold of poverty, that is, for less than 1.90 USD per day
  • the employment rate in Senegal is 50.6%
  • 44% of the working population is engaged in farming
  • only 13.9% of the population aged 25 or more has any post-elementary education
  • the literacy index among the youth aged 15 to 24 is 69.8%

The Open Days are about showing off and being proud. We have a lot to brag about and yes, we are very proud. We have only just upgraded the girls’ school in Dakar, and you can already see how wonderfully its students are using the new tools!

Juices, preserves, baked goods and unique African textiles. The girls gave it their all. The Open Days attracted crowds of interested parties. Among the guests was also the new Polish ambassador to Senegal, Bartłomiej Zdaniuk.

The handicraft of our pupils also reached the Vistula coast. They can be admired in the Good Factory Shop. Each purchase is a very tangible financial help, allowing these 56 girls to learn every day and to have access to the best tools and lectures.

Do your most colourful Senegalese shopping today and help our alumni achieve their dreams of an education.
