A fresh initiative, introduced as a pilot program during the recent Dakar en Jeux festival, is set to inspire healthier lifestyles and encourage physical activity among young people in Senegal.

The initiative focuses on engaging young individuals through various activities that promote physical fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness. By fostering a culture of health and activity, the program aims to not only prepare the youth for the upcoming international event but also instill lifelong habits that contribute to their physical and mental wellbeing.
