On December 8, the DP World Foundation reaffirmed its commitment to education in Senegal by organizing a large ceremony to distribute school kits to three schools located around the future Port of Ndayane: Kholpa, Niangal 1, and Ndayane. Completely renovated as part of the “Classes of Hope” program, these establishments welcomed the DP World teams as well as local administrative and traditional authorities who came to witness the completion of several months of work and support.
In the morning, the delegations visited the schools, raised the flag, attended cultural performances by the students, and symbolically distributed the kits offered by the DP World Foundation. At each step, mayors, sub-prefects, school directors, and representatives from the Education and Training Inspection (IEF) praised an initiative that fully meets the needs of the local communities.
In Ndayane, the final stop of the circuit, official speeches highlighted the social impact of the port project. The mayor emphasized the importance of these modernized school infrastructures to support the growth of the municipality. In its speech, the DP World Foundation presented the objectives of the program, focused on creating safe, inclusive, and stimulating learning spaces.
The students, the true heart of the event, animated the ceremony with songs, poems, and a theatrical piece applauded by all participants. The administrative authorities – sub-prefects of Diamniadio and Sindia – concluded the meeting by emphasizing the relevance of a sustainable partnership between private actors, communities, and educational institutions.
With this gesture, DP World reaffirms that the development of the Port of Ndayane goes hand in hand with a concrete investment in human capital and the future of the children in the surrounding areas.
