Jeunesse Espoir organization and its Spanish partner Nous Cims successfully completed the first phase of the project by transforming the temporary shelter into a modern school with six classrooms, an administrative block for teachers, and a school cafeteria. We are therefore calling on the fantastic Global Giving family to carry out the second phase of the project, which consists of securing the school with fence within which a school garden will be planted to supply the school cafeteria.
In Senegal, there are hundreds of temporary shelters in villages, and insufficient state resources prevent them from being transformed, given their large number. This dangerously affects access to basic social services for populations living in rural areas, mainly children's education from vulnerable families. Thus, this project was initiated to build an autonomous school managed by women in order to produce agricultural products for free meals for children and better academic performance.
The construction of the school having been completed during the first phase, the solution lies in this second phase of the project which consists of securing the school space with a fence, developing a school garden managed by mothers of students to produce food that must supply the school canteen in a sustainable way in order to ensure the 300 children of the school a free meal per day on weekdays. This initiative mainly aims to improve the nutritional health and children academic performance.
By settling a women-led school garden and canteen in the village of Thieudem, the project supported by the community, can foster food security, empower women economically, and improve children's nutrition and school attendance. Over time, it cultivates community resilience, promotes sustainable agriculture, and inspires future generations to value education, health, and gender equity-planting seeds of lasting social and economic transformation.
