OUR AIMS The Charity's object is to advance the education of the public in particular, but not exclusively, in Senegal by the provision of grants for the construction, refurbishment and decoration of elementary schools. Our mission is to enhance public education, particularly in Senegal, by offering grants for the construction, renovation, and beautification of elementary schools. Our goal is to deliver high- quality education to underprivileged communities in Sub-Saharan West Africa, starting with close collaboration with local communities in Senegal under the banner of "Education for All" . We are dedicated to creating a nurturing educational environment that fosters the academic, moral, and physical development of disadvantaged individuals, enabling them to flourish and unleash their innate talents and abilities. OUR OBJECTIVES Our objectives align closely with our aims. Ensuring the maintenance and enhancement of the BB standard is paramount to us. In formulating our objectives and organising our activities for the year, our Trustees have meticulously considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. Nonetheless, these objectives are formulated within the framework of the broader goals we have set for the Charity. |
