What We Do

We work with local communities to understand issues through their eyes. We then co-develop projects which are led by local people to achieve healthy villages and a healthy environment.

Senegal

Despite being one of the most politically stable countries in West Africa, the UN classifies Senegal in the low human development category with over 50% of the population classified as suffering from deprivation in health, education and standard of living. Niokolo-Koba National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site in the southeast of the country. This remote area harbours extraordinary levels of biodiversity existing alongside rural communities of remarkable cultural diversity.
