our story starts here

The Diamono Project is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit organization dedicated to improving education for young people in Senegal.

Our 3 main focuses are Education, Wellbeing, and Self-Sustainability.

​

We believe getting a good base education with sufficient school supplies & infrastructure, is essential in giving students the tools they need to shape their future

​

Maintaining physical and mental wellbeing by giving students a safe area to play within recently built school yard walls and clothing donations which increase self-confidence. 

​

Self-sustainability is encouraged through support of entrepreneurial and student-driven efforts.

While visiting Senegal in March of 2016 our founder, Anaelle, and her family tried to find a school they had seen earlier to give students goodie bags with school supplies.

 

They got directions from some good samaritans who also asked for a ride back to their own village, mentioning that there is a school there. This became the first of many interactions with the Khomkhoma School.

Ultimately, Anaelle decided to give the goodie bags to the school in the good samaritans' village.

 

Over the next 7 years, more school supplies were donated to both the Khonkhoma & Louly Sindia school, a new classroom and wall surrounding the school was built, new desks were purchased, and The Diamono Project was formed. We hope to continue working to further improve the school and quality of the students' education.
