Well construction for the Yene elementary school in Senegal

InFa e.V. has been involved in various projects in Senegal, approx. 60 km south of Dakar, since 2006. It mainly supports needy families and children in particular. InFa e.V. runs its own “Kindergarten Leila” in Toubab Diallaw and supports and accompanies the children on their educational path. In addition, classrooms, toilets and wells have already been built in various villages. The focus of the project is on providing educational opportunities and promoting health.

InFa e.V. approached Moving Child with the wish to build a deep well and toilets for the elementary school in the neighboring village of Yene. The elementary school is attended by 670 pupils who currently have no running water. The water is transported to the school in horse-drawn carts. There are currently two toilets that are in dire need of renovation.

Moving Child is pleased to be able to support the project with the funds for the construction of the well, the connection for running water and the construction of toilets (separate for girls and boys). The well and toilet construction is a sustainable project and will improve the hygienic conditions at the school in the long term.
