Bousso's Baobab – A Multilingual School for Children in Senegal

My name is Bousso Niang. I’m 47 years old, a German-Senegalese mother of three, an educator, social worker, coach and the founder of Bousso’s Baobab.

After 20 years of working in education in Germany, the U.S., and across Africa, I’ve decided to follow my dream:
To create an international, inclusive, and multilingual school in Ngaparou, Senegal – a coastal town south of Dakar.

Why This Project Matters

Ngaparou is growing rapidly, but families in the area lack access to international-standard, multilingual schools. Many parents want their children to receive a high-quality education – one that is inclusive and future-oriented, no matter their income or background.

Bousso’s Baobab is exactly that:
A place of diversity, tolerance, and equal opportunity, built on a trilingual early education model:
German-French-Wolof or English-French-Wolof.

What We’ve Already Achieved

* We’ve rented a house with a garden and transformed it into a preschool and family center
* We’ve developed the "Baobab Pedagogy” – inclusive, strength-based, and culturally sensitive
* We’re supported by an amazing and committed community

But due to construction delays and financial setbacks, we now lack the funds to fully launch the program.

How You Can Help

With your support, we aim to:

* Secure one year of rent
* Complete child-safe renovations on the building
* Have furniture built by local carpenters
* Fairly pay our dedicated staff
* Purchase educational materials and supplies
* Offer tuition-free spots for low-income families

Our Impact

* Early multilingual education for ALL children
* Fair working conditions for local educators
* Long-term plan: build a primary and secondary school by 2027
* A space for empowerment, respect, and community

Why I Do This

I am a single mother who has lived and worked across three continents.
I believe education is the key to justice.
Bousso’s Baobab is more than a school – it's a place of hope, connection, and lasting change.

Help us make this vision a reality.
Every donation counts. Every contribution is an act of solidarity.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
– Bousso
