ELHADJ DIOUF ELEMETARY SCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN
Kaolack, Senegal
Inauguration in May 2024
The new social private school “Elhadj Diouf” offers boys and girls a basic general education at a high level. A free, daily hot meal and emergency medical care are naturally part of the offer. WEF West Africa is the financier and sponsor of an entire floor. The entire school complex was enthusiastically explored by local children as soon as it was inaugurated in May.
Classes will officially start in November 2024.
Dr. Djiby Diouf, Managing Director
The Werner Erkes Foundation is currently establishing the WE Foundation West Africa in Senegal, which will set up educational projects there and in neighboring countries.
Dr. Djiby Diouf from Senegal will be in charge of this great project based in his native town of Kaolack. In his doctoral thesis from 2009, he already dealt with the issue of sustainable development in Senegal in connection with the political guidelines and sociological obstacles using Kaolack as an example.
The EDF is committed to ...
> German-Senegalese youth are brought together as the foundation of a cultural bridge, e.g. by facilitating workshop encounters.

SPORTS COMPLEX
Kaolack, Senegal - Inauguration in May 2024
The sports and play area is directly adjacent to the school grounds. The facility includes a multifunctional sports field with a high-quality surface for tennis, soccer, basketball, etc., a building with changing rooms and toilets and two playgrounds. We financed the entire sports and play area, which was built together with the EDF Foundation and the Association AKS (Kaolack).
The sports facility will also be accessible to sports clubs in Kaolack and the surrounding area. The income generated will benefit the school project. Completion and opening was in May 2024.
WES is very pleased that it was able to get involved in this exciting flagship project in Senegal.
CONSTRUCTION OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WITH KINDERGARTEN
Hobor, Ghana
WEF West Africa is currently building an elementary school with a kindergarten together with its partner associations “Zusammen für Ghana” (Hanover) and “Kinder Zentrum International” (Hobor, Ghana). The first floor with three classrooms and toilet facilities has already been completed and put into operation. The upper floor of the same size is currently under construction.
In order to meet the expected demand for a secondary school, a larger second school complex is already being planned on a neighboring property.
