Echoing Green (EG) - Teach for Senegal
United States African Development Foundation awarded a grant of USD 91,500 to Teach for Senegal for work in Senegal, dated 22 August 2019.
Overview
USADF is providing funding for Raby Gueye, an Echoing Green fellow, and her organization, Teach For Senegal (TFS). TFS is in the education sector and is modeled after Teach for America and seeks to enlist young Senegalese graduates to work as full-time teachers in undeserved communities throughout Senegal for two years. TFS seeks to provide quality education to the nearly 45% of Senegal's population that is below the age of 15 and provide them with the best change to succeed in a 21st century Senegal. The experience also furthers the development of these young students in leadership skills as well as diversifying their experience and knowledge of their home country.
