Assessment: 

In Senegal, the women's alphabetisation rate is low because raising a girl is less important than raising a boy. The role of girls is that of future mother that works for her family. Thus, women and girls have few occasions to participate to the socio-economic development of the region and leave school at an early age. 

Furthermore, many women of the region are victims of different types of violence and violations of their fundamental rights include Female Genital Mutilations and/or early and forced marriage. All these practices have harmful effects on the health and sexual development and are all a violation of the rights of women and children. 

​

Objectives: 

The Centre Mame Diarra Diallo (CMDD) has for main objective to offer a service which aims to contribute to the defence, reconstruction and economic and social reinsertion of the vulnerable populations, particularly women and girls that have suffer violence. 

First, we want to increase the skills and job opportunities of these women and girls by offering them professional trainings on existing activities, but also by an economic monitoring on the sectors that create jobs in Senegal.

Then, the project is to allow the centre to become a place open for the nearby villages during the day. it is seen as a meeting, exchanges and initiatives place: for example, to the renewable energy and market gardening. 

Finally, we would like to organise the centre so it can become a major spot for all the activities of the association.
