This early childhood education project, focusing on children’s learning through play, was situated in a poor area of Ouakam, a district of the capital Dakar, wedged between the international airport and the garbage dump.

It consisted of the expansion of the kindergarten building, the renovation of existing classrooms and of the roof as well as of providing child-friendly furniture and pedagogic material. The project was completed by a training for the social workers and volunteers responsible for managing the kindergarten.
