In the Kédougou region, in southeastern Senegal near the border with Guinea, rural exodus, illegal immigration and illegal gold mining are major problems.
The village of Noubou is difficult to access from the road between Kédougou and Salémata, which poses a significant obstacle to marketing produce grown in the village and its surroundings, as well as to maintaining adequate healthcare. Poverty and food insecurity are also challenges that the population is trying to overcome.
In this context, the Association of Young People from Salémata in Kédougou wishes to improve the living conditions of the inhabitants of Noubou and reduce rural exodus through food self-sufficiency by creating a sustainable agricultural model.
Improving the living conditions of the inhabitants of Noubou and the surrounding villages through food self-sufficiency
