Thank you from the Director - January 2020

2019 was an amazing year for Andando and our partners, and you have made all the difference. Through your generosity, communities have been transformed in rural Senegal. We are now reaching more people than ever, and we have even bigger things planned for 2020.

This year we expanded our garden program into four new communities, which brings the total to 23 gardens that serve thousands of people boosting nutrition and income. We built classrooms in four villages that are already packed with eager students supported by parents with a renewed vision for their future. Two more rural health posts were completed that meet the healthcare needs of people where they need it most, right at home in their neighborhoods. We were even able to increase our microloan program this year to assist more farmers and small business owners get a step ahead.

Your contribution makes these programs possible, and the Senegalese send along a BIG “Jerejef!” – Thank You!
