🌍 Mamadou Siliou Diallo meets his coach and investors in Belgium to support G3SM's Expansion 📚 Mamadou Siliou Diallo, founder of G3SM School in Senegal, recently visited Belgium to meet with his business coaches at OVO and investors who are helping fuel the growth of his remarkable educational project. Starting with just a single classroom and five students, Mamadou has built a thriving school that now serves over 900 students, offering everything from kindergarten to high school, and expanding into technical fields like IT, electrical engineering, and catering. Through his tireless dedication and strategic partnerships, G3SM has become a beacon of hope for children and adults in one of Dakar's poorest communities, with many students attending for free or at reduced rates. His latest expansion, funded with the help of OVO and BAN Flanders - Business Angels Network Flanders, will equip young people with the practical skills they need to enter the workforce and break the cycle of poverty. 👉 Read the full story to discover how Mamadou is using education to transform lives, and how collaboration between global partners is making this possible: https://lnkd.in/eHy42CMh Antoine Parmentier Tonny Vanderhoven Bruno Van der Wielen Daha DIALLO Marc Van de Velde Marc Josz #EducationForAll #SocialImpact #EmpowermentThroughEducation #Leadership #OVO #G3SM #Senegal #BusinessCoaching #GlobalPartnerships #Inspiration
