Project Updates

Thanks to our generous donors, Kids of K has recently completed our annual school supply distribution to our partner schools in northern Senegal. This year, we distributed supplies to 19 elementary schools with more than 3,000 students. In a region where more than two thirds of the population are living on about $3 per day and school supplies can seem out of reach, teachers report that our distributions make an important difference in the educational experience they can provide to the children. And with your continued support, we can do so much more for so many kids!

In Thiacalar, the first set of cinder blocks have been made that will eventually create a wall surrounding the elementary school courtyard, keeping students safe from the busy road nearby. Share this Post: Share on facebook Share on twitter Share

Our annual school supply distribution included 21 partner school with more than 3,000 students. These distributions help to encourage school enrollment, as many families are unable to provide the expected school supplies for their children.

Khadim, our local school supply vendor, stands in his store (Librairie Richard Toll) with supplies ready to be sent to the many schools we support. Khadim always goes above and beyond to provide our school supply needs! Share this Post:

Kids of K was happy to provide a new photocopier to the elementary school in Kadionge. The photocopier is housed in our Emily D’Ancona Resource Center and allows teachers to copy and distribute school materials, such as textbooks, to students.

We were thrilled for the opportunity to make a big difference in the bathroom facilities in the preschool in Namora. The preschool provides a loving and nurturing environment, and teachers and students alike love the new bathroom! Share this Post:
