Due to its geographical location and climate, Senegal faces persistent challenges of drought, heatwaves, sandstorms, and sporadic heavy rainfall throughout the year. Consequently, ensuring the safety and comfort of students attending school in this region poses significant challenges. The umbrella symbolizes protection and shelter, shielding humans from the wind, rain, and harsh elements. Our goal is to create a secure and empowering environment for students to learn, play, and interact beneath the umbrella.
