Beating Hunger in the Sahel
Erratic and failing rains makes it tough to survive the driest months. World Vision is intervening in Senegal to help with this.
World Vision began working in Senegal in response to the drought crisis of 1983-1984. In 1986, World Vision began drilling water boreholes in villages in the northern region of Louga.
Nowadays, World Vision is active in six administrative regions: Fatick, Kaffrine, Kolda, Tambacounda, Kedougou and Diourbel.
It is implementing about 150 projects (grouped into 28 integrated programmes) that significantly improve the lives of 69,155 children enrolled in the sponsorship programme and indirectly 877,975 people in 61 communities.
