Creating Sustainable Means to Empower the Vulnerable in Rural Senegal
Description
The goal of creating sustainable means to empower the vulnerable will be carried out via several programmes, as follows:1. A sponsorship programme for disabled woman and widows which aims to provide sustainable means of nutrition and to reduce the financial burden by providing food staples, making up the majority of the monthly budget of a typical household in rural Senegal. The programme will sustainably enhance their income opportunities and also promote the participation in small scale businesses.2. A sponsorship programme for orphan children providing free access to education. The programme will sponsor the tuition fees for boarding school, providing access to education and a stable learning environment. The programme also aims on a long term to provide technical equipment such as personal computers, laptops or tablets to the boarding school.3. A sponsorship programme of medical assistance in the interest of the poorest population. The programme will sponsor underprivileged families for medication for chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, etc.4. A development program with the goal of providing lighting and power distribution via solar panels. The programme aims to install solar panels in remote settlements to provide access to electricity and help to reduce the inequalities in access to infrastructure.
The programmes are set up in coordination between several non-governmental organizations (NGOs) based in the European Union and in Senegal, as well as indivuduals. The programmes are coordinated by the Luxembourg-based organization Mouvement Solidarité Humanitaire Alfityanu a.s.b.l. and carried out and distributed through their partners in Senegal, i.e. individuals with significant social status and responsibilities such as Muhammadu Mahy Cissé and other local non-governmental organizations.
