Since our inception, the Banouna Ba Foundation's Library has welcomed over 1 million visitors, proudly supporting more than 2,500 students this year in their pursuit of academic excellence, including the Baccalauréat and BFEM (College Diploma).
Last year, we celebrated remarkable success, with 70% of our candidates achieving BFEM certification, and over 40% qualifying for university studies. Our dedicated team of 12 staff members, including 10 qualified volunteer teachers, is committed to fostering a nurturing educational environment.
We have invested in a state-of-the-art computer lab and an open space library, and we are now seeking support to expand with an additional floor to better serve our community of students.
While our initiative primarily focuses on girls' education, we are proud to report that 36% of our attendees are male, promoting a culture of inclusion and diversity that enriches community life. The success of our program is largely attributed to our commitment to free access, complimentary coaching, and mentoring for students, all within a clean, calm, and safe Knowledge Space tailored for the youth of Kolda.
We are honored to have the official support of the government education academy, ensuring that we continue to provide the highest quality of assistance to our students.
Join us in our mission to empower the next generation through education!
