Starting with school
To get to know the children and their communities better.
And then do much more.
PROJECT 1
School for all
Provide funding for children who., for various reasons, are excluded from the Senegalese secular system.
Who are the students we support?
These are children who for various reasons do not have access to the national education system. Reasons include economic, cultural, bureaucratic-or simply because they are left alone on this path.
That's why we at Janghi don't just fund scholarships. We are constantly in close contact with the communities to convince them of the importance of education and help them solve problems that were initially considered insurmountable.
Birth certificate
Without it, they cannot register. But considering that many are born in rural areas where these formalities are not customary, the problem is very common.
Age
Some children do not go to school initially because they must provide support in household activities. When opportunity arises it may be too late because there is a maximum enrolment age.
Talibés
For cultural reasons, families entrust their children to a religious teacher, receiving as their only education the memorisation of the Koran and living in extremely precarious conditions.
Disabled persons
For them, the situation is even more complex: there are no specialised public institutions. The cost and availability of private facilities become insurmountable barriers.
Young brides
The phenomenon of arranged marriages is still a reality in Senegal. It often involves very early motherhood, which forces girls to drop out of school.
Exams
Passing exams is mandatory for students to continue their studies. But this is often impossible for children who must work and are alone in the process.
"What we aim at in your education is to awaken the nation-builder that sleeps in each of you..."
WHAT WE DID THIS YEAR
Together, we have done a lot
Our projects
Education is at the heart of Janghi's Mission. But the context in which we operate in soon showed us that health, hygiene, being heard, play and much more were vital for children to reach their full potential.
School for all
Allowing children who do not meet the "criteria" to access public schools to start or continue their education through alternatives whilst preparing them to be re-integrated into the public system to the extent possible.
DISCOVER MAMADOU'S STORYWe give the chance to Tallibés children to go to school instead of spending their days begging, making sure they have a good breakfast, improve the poor living conditions they live in and offering them protection.

Talibés, protection and improvement of conditions
Health, Hygiene, Nutrition
We provide routing health care through regular checkups and preventative dental care. In addition, we train young people on basic first aid so that they can assist communities when needed.
We organise trips to discover the history of their country, festivals for them to laugh and challenge themselves. We enrich the programme with art, sports, computer science, chess, and much more.
Personal development and play
Protection, Home visits and Keur Janghi
We organise home visits for Talibés who live away from their parents for years. But we also have "Keur Janghi", a community center for the children. There is a library, study room and a safe place where they will find a volunteer lready to listen.
