Who We Are

From our beginnings as a 5 member school club, we have always stayed true to our founding. We are students, educators, community members, villagers, architects and government leaders.

 
 

Our Impact

In nearly 10 years, beginning as a small high school club meeting weekly at lunch, we have been transformed into an international NGO that has raised over $500,000 for students in Senegal. We are currently building the Lambaye Learning Center, a 4,000 sq. ft. state of the art Library-Community center that will transform education and promote gender equality for the 30,000 inhabitants of Lambaye, Senegal.  

Through our other programs we have also supplied school supplies, sports equipment and funded scholarships so that all students in Lambaye can receive and education.
