These renovated and rebuilt classrooms are spaces where hope can be born… These schools are now classrooms of hope.” She reaffirmed the Foundation’s commitment to providing every child, regardless of their background, with equitable access to quality education.
Eco-friendly libraries and furniture
In addition to the classroom renovation work, DP World Dakar and the Port of Ndayane project made an additional contribution of 53,840,460 FCFA, enabling notable innovations: the creation of school libraries in the three establishments, the provision of 300 recycled plastic desks and benches, praised for their ecological nature, and the provision of furniture for teachers.
