The very first school for Sally’s village
It was still dark when Sally had to rise, clean her family’s compound and make her way to school. Senegalese nights offer a cool, refreshing breeze from the otherwise blazing heat and, under a clear sky, the stars and moon would provide enough light to walk through the village.
“All throughout my life, we never had a school nearby,” says Sally, now a confident teenager. “Growing up, this meant that I – and most other children in my community – had to walk for a very long time just to get to my classes.”
