It's about entrepreneurs. It’s about luxury. It’s about success.™
African countries have worked hard to improve children’s access to basic education, but there’s still significant work to be done.
A study carried out by the French Development Agency (AFD), the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF), Orange and Unesco shows that ICT in education in general, and mobile learning in particular, offers a number of possible benefits. These include access to low-cost teaching resources, added value compared to traditional teaching and a complementary solution for teacher training.
This means that there’s a huge potential to reach those excluded from education systems. The quality of knowledge and skills that are taught can also be improved
In Senegal, talented students often struggle to find their place in working life.
Access to means of communication is now a key part of daily life for the vast majority of people living in Africa.
This rapid expansion of mobile Internet services is already contributing to the region’s economic and social development.
The BIMALDI charity project, aims to equip schools with computers.
These computers, offer important opportunities to tackle the lack of books and textbooks.
Now is the moment to put computers and online education in place for moving to the next level.
We will not resolve all of Africa’s education problems. But it can help to fundamentally change the current paradigm of skills development systems.
Creativity, ingenuity, entrepreneurial spirit, perseverance and passion.
The problem is the connection. In a land-locked country with limited transportation and access to other vehicles of trade, transforming this potential into thriving is an uphill battle (and it’s a steep hill). This is where a partnership was formed.
We are the connectors, bringing the incredible strengths and entrepreneurial spirit of African entrepreneurs to the world.
Every time you wear your BIMALDI piece, consider the partnership that connects you to this greater community. As your senses are transported to an open field in Senegal West Africa, remember our partners, not in pity, but in gratitude.
Partner with us, by wearing BIMALDI, together we’re creating a future.
So often, in the West, we have a very monetarily driven value of success and worth.
From that false ideal, we have often created broken systems of support.
Our desires are often very good, but yet they still fall short.
Because we define worth in monetary terms, we often look at those who fiscally have less than us as those whom we need to help.
So, we make plans that revolve around monetary values, but miss the people, the community and the culture in the process.
