|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**2020- 2021:7th edition/year of donation**<br>**of stationeries. We are now helping**<br>**schools from north to south of Senegal**<br>**(not only in Medina).**<br>**- We offered the stationery to 5500**<br>**students registered in 16 schools. More**<br>**than 50,000 notebooks and pens have**<br>**been offered. We have had the support**<br>**of the manager of national basket team**<br>**of Senegal and the entire team.**<br>**- The partnership with the national**<br>**school dedicated to disabled children is**<br>**being developed very well. We**<br>**sponsored 12 disabled kids as they**<br>**could not afford to pay schools feed and**<br>**transport. With our dedicated**<br>**sponsorship program, we have been**<br>**able to convince few more donor.**<br>**Following our actions, each donor**<br>**received a certificate showing the name**<br>**of the disable kid that they sponsored,**<br>**their level, and what the disability is**<br>**about.

**the schools. They recognised our continuous effort over the past years and agreed for our charity to be an ambassador of those disabled kids. We also offered wheelchairs, stationeries and others equipment. - In addition to the donation have a sponsoring program dedicated to nondisabled children. They are the top one from the 16 schools that we support. We have increased the number from 22 top students to 33, they all coming from the 16 primary public schools that we support. Each student received the equivalent of EUR 100 to cover their scholarship fees and stationaries for the next level after the primary school’s final exam (secondary schools). With the sponsoring program, we are getting very close to the family, and we need to share with the sponsor, all exam’s results from the student. If the student is not performing as expected, we will try to understand the root cause and speak to their parent to ensure they can progress. We renew the sponsoring fees only if the student managed to get a minimum of 12/10 at the end of the year. A contract is signed between the charity, the family and the sponsor to ensure the relation goes smoothly. - we still have 3 local online newspaper companies, that published most of our actions for a better visibility. They are called, Medina TV, Dak Medina and Medina Actu. - we have ad few tv show that are available on youtube -  we have donated printer, and projector to few schools - we renewed the partnership with the international company named BIC. They produce mainly pens, and all the pens we donated was bought from them with a very competitive price. - Our charity t-shirt has been advertised one more time by the Senegalese national football and basket team. - we organised the 3[rd] edition of mathematic and poetry competition across 8 schools. The top 3 student have been gifted with tablet, laptop and book. - we have a specific program to go green. This project is call ECOBRIQUE. To do so we are partnering with an NGO named BIOFORCE. We the help of the NGO team, we asked to the children from 3 schools to find any plastic bag**

The next step is to build the bench.**
