YOU Foundation — Project Work in Senegal

By providing access to modern, multifunctional ICT centers, the YOU Foundation – Education for Children in Need, together with AVANTI and MGI Management, aims to improve the quality of education and the educational, economic, and ecological living conditions of the rural farming population, especially schoolchildren in the department of Kolda. At the same time, the YOU Foundation hopes to empower young women to promote economic resilience and increase their income.

Our goals are:

• Overcoming the IT gap

• Delivering quality education and climate education

• Providing qualification measures and better incomes for women

In May 2024, the program began with the sustainable construction of the center out of sand bricks. This construction method is traditional, environmentally friendly, economical, and more cost-competitive, reducing expenses by almost 20%. Green solar power was also used.

The grand opening with the donors of the YOU Foundation Avanti and MGI, the entire community, public figures, and the partners involved took place on July 10, so that classes may now begin. It was a particular pleasure for everyone involved that the well-known Senegalese singer #PapeDiouf, who is the patron of the project, was present at the opening. Our heartfelt thanks go to Avanti, MGI Management, the patron Pape Diouf, and our local partner teams.

The YOU Foundation – Education for Children in Need, an initiative of UNESCO Special Envoy Dr. h.c. Ute-Henriette Ohoven, is committed to education for the poorest of the poor worldwide.
