About us

Project for education and agriculture for kids in Nianing- Mbour at the rural area of Senegal.BARACK OBAMA SCHOOL. It was founded Nov. 5/ 08 and it must be the first school named after the future president of the U.S. Talent is the only thing that counts in our school, no gender, no religion , no ethnic background is important, just that what you make out of yourself. Girls seem to be the most clever students.For that education is free, which is unusual in Senegal. 65 Kids of rural areas have the oportunity to go even to university. We already send one girl , Celine Diouf, to high school. We pay for that if you make it. Actually we teach basic reading , writing and counting and french as a foreign language. We provide the youngsters and their families also with land for planting nutrition. We pay the grains as well. Regularely we invite kids from orpheniats in Germany and elsewhere.
FC BAYERN MUNICH is our sponsor in sports like soccer. Our kids are from the poorest families around but the most motivated. Come and check us out in Senegal. Thanks for your help in advance.

No overheads. I pay my flights by myself.
