Through creating jobs and prospects as well as supporting families to meet their basic needs, we want to encourage many, especially the youth, to stay in their homeland. We want to create a community for the younger generation, empower women and support the development of children. All projects aim to promote self-sufficiency in basic food stuffs as well as social and medical care. Our projects in the areas of job creation, education, vocational training, health care, clean drinking water, nutrition, waste disposal and culture should be implemented as soon as possible. The goals are to work independently and to become self-financing.<\/p>\n<p>85% of villagers, like day laborers, depend on low-paid casual jobs. Craft skills are acquired through &#8220;learning by doing&#8221;. The income for many is less than about \u20ac 1 per day, which is why women are often used in agriculture or on the paddy field only for the daily requirements of food such as rice or vegetables or fruit for the family work.<\/p>\n<p>The association &#8220;Diamani Kouta &#8211; New Generation&#8221; in Kafountine , led by Mamakeh Bodian, and its founding association &#8220;African Spirit-Rhythm for Life&#8221; in Salzburg, together with the locals in Kafountine provides sustainable support that promotes self-reliance and develop model development initiatives. As far as possible, the projects will be supported by Mayor Nfansu Victor Diatta primarily in administrative matters. Traditional crafts such as in the construction of the fishing boat made of wood, the making of the network, the construction of the club house, the well, etc. is practiced by locals. This will strengthen the locals in their quest for independence.<\/p>\n<p>After only two years, our projects &#8220;Boat to Stay&#8221; and the village pharmacy with Dr. med. Bassin have already reached their project goals. They are successful as they are entirely self-financing,  and it is possible to further develop these projects.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-144 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/diamanikouta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/diamani-kouta-_-apotheke-_-fischerboot.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1890\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diamanikouta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/diamani-kouta-_-apotheke-_-fischerboot.jpg 1890w, https:\/\/diamanikouta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/diamani-kouta-_-apotheke-_-fischerboot-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diamanikouta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/diamani-kouta-_-apotheke-_-fischerboot-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/diamanikouta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/diamani-kouta-_-apotheke-_-fischerboot-1024x341.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1890px) 100vw, 1890px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kafountine is a village with about 23,000 inhabitants and is located in the beautiful landscape Casamance. Untouched by mass tourism, the picture of a life in untouched nature offers itself. Only at second glance does one recognize the oppressive poverty. High unemployment makes young people in particular vulnerable to a deceptive future in the capital Dakar or in Europe. On the other hand, all our projects turn. We see the future of this youth in their home country. There are enough resources that can be used by the locals with our help. That is why we are involved with our project in Kafountine and want to be an example.<\/p>\n<p>So far, we do everything on a voluntary base, without administrative and personnel costs and will continue to do so in the future. For financial support from the Development Advisory Council of the Salzburg Provincial Government and the Lions Clubs Hohensalzburg (leading club and main sponsor), LC Salzburg, LC Laufen, LC Amad\u00e9, LC Seekirchen and the private sponsors, we are very grateful and guarantee that every Euro 1:1 is used effectively in the sense of further development.<\/p>\n<p>The income from our projects is also a livelihood for all our employees and their families. Reserves are used to make repairs to machinery, medicines, help with hospital stays or repairs after water damage from the rainy season, etc. Part of the money is always spent on the further development of subsequent projects.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-156 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/diamanikouta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/diamani-kouta-_-eva-mueck-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1890\" height=\"1260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diamanikouta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/diamani-kouta-_-eva-mueck-1.jpg 1890w, https:\/\/diamanikouta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/diamani-kouta-_-eva-mueck-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diamanikouta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/diamani-kouta-_-eva-mueck-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/diamanikouta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/diamani-kouta-_-eva-mueck-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1890px) 100vw, 1890px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s help to stay!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-174\" src=\"https:\/\/diamanikouta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/diamani-kouta-_-picto-_-klein.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"45\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yours Eva M\u00fcck and Mamakeh Bodian<br \/>\nin the name of \u201cDiamani Kouta &#8211; New Generation\u201d in Kafountine<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\/en\/donation\/\">Help us now! \u00a0<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"\/en\/donation\/\">&gt;&gt; donate here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are a NGO and non-profit organization for self-help projects in Kafountine \/ Senegal \u201cDiamani Kouta \u2013 New Generation\u201d was founded by Eva M\u00fcck in January 2015 as a partner association of &#8220;African Spirit-Rhythm for Life&#8221; Salzburg Chairman of the association and local contact person is Mamakeh Bodian &nbsp; &nbsp; With our self-help projects in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":528,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.4 -
