Thioffior Village Group

Mr. Waly Diouf

Mr. Diouf has been a school teacher in the village for many years. He is now proud to help the villagers welcome people in and share, meet and interact with the tourists.

This accommodation provider has taken action to address one or more issues (whether environmental, social or cultural) which will contribute positively to the long term viability of the destination and hence their site displays a Caring for the destination rating.

Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:
A village type in the heart of Saloum

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:

The leader of the group, Mr. Waly Diouf, a native school teacher from the village, who now teaches in Dakar, uses more than half the earnings to directly help the village by providing essentials, such as equipment for the village school, medicine for the dispensary, basic food supplies during times of bad harvest, and sometimes even the transportation of injured persons to Kaolack Hospital.

Furthermore, people coming to Thioffior are always pre-briefed and choose to come to a real village, to meet the villagers and live in their everyday life conditions. So most visitors just don't want to corrupt anything here, even if they can.
