The First Lady of Senegal, Mrs. Marème Faye Sall, at her residence, received the Director General of the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO), Dr. Salim M. AlMalik, during his current visit to Dakar. The reception was attended by Mr. Mamadou Talla, Minister of Education and Literacy, President of the Senegalese National Commission.

During this meeting, Dr. Salim M. AlMalik reviewed ISESCO’s new vision, which pays major attention to social and human dimensions and empowerment of various categories to live in decent conditions. The two parties also explored ways to promote cooperation between the Organization and “Servir le Sénégal” Foundation, which provides various services to citizens in need.

The two parties also agreed to organize a medical, educational and social caravan in 2020 in Senegal, equip a number of childcare centers with educational tools, and train social workers in these centers to provide integrated social, educational and psychological services that are sensitive to the needs of these categories.

The meeting was attended from ISESCO by Dr. Ahmed Said Ould Bah, Director of External relations and Cooperation, and Mrs. Ramata Almamy Mbaye, Director of Human Sciences.

It is worth mentioning that the First Lady of Senegal created “Servir le Sénégal” Foundation in 2012, to provide humanitarian services for citizens in need. The Foundation is run by Mrs. Sall, along with Senegalese volunteers and others, who make major efforts to support patients in urgent need for dialysis and renal care, in addition to providing some basic life assistance to several remote villages.
