Senegal 2021

On the 12th of December, the Senegal 2021 project started. A group of 16 enthusiastic students will develop this solidarity project with Oumar from Godaguene, Senegal. Their goal is to build several classrooms in the summer of 2021 to expand the village’s primary school. For a year they will intensely collaborate with D.R.O.P. vzw Oumar and the people of Godaguene.

We are looking for new partners!

We are looking for a partner partially or entirely from a low-income country. This partner will aim to facilitate access to education for all, especially in countries where this is not a given. Ideally, this partner is ready to deploy the project with our students who, working with the local population, will construct the building in summer 2022. The total cost amounts to a maximum of € 12.000. If the price exceeds this amount, the difference will be compensated by the partner.

Checklist for a partner

Be from a low-income country (or partially, there must be a clear link to the country in question)
In need of an infrastructure not exceeding 100m².
Be prepared to host, accompany and assist a group of 15 university students
