Khady Lusby, started the non-profit organization to give back to the village where she grew up in Nioro, Senegal. In 2009, OPEN International opened a middle school, College Adja Penda Ba (APB), with the goal of giving girls a chance to continue their formal education close to home. Since it's inception, APB has grown from one classroom to a two-story, 12+ classroom school. Thanks to our generous donors, APB is now co-ed and features an elementary program as well as a high school program, a library, computer lab, and a breakfast program to feed the children who can't afford breakfast otherwise.
To provide quality education for children and young adults that will help them achieve economic empowerment. We offer students the academic opportunities that prepare them for higher education and equip them with marketable skills for the workplace.
Our vision is to create a positive learning environment that leads students to higher education and self-sufficiency.
