Mission Statement
Kids of Kadiogne is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the education and health of children in northern Senegal, while facilitating cultural exchange between Americans and Senegalese.

OUR NAME
We are named in honor of the children of Kadiogne, which is a small village in the region that we serve. ‘Kadiogne’ is the French spelling of the name of the village, and it is pronounced ‘KA-jon-ya’. You may notice that a word approximating ‘KaaYoñ’ appears in our logo. This is the name of the village as written in the local native language of Pulaar, but it contains a couple of letters that do not appear in the English alphabet and is far more difficult to pronounce.
