Moroccan foundation finances community school in senegal

Chairman of the Moroccan BMCE foundation, Othmane Benjelloun, and Senegal's first lady, Viviane Wade, who chairs the "education and health foundation" launched on Tuesday construction of a rural community school in Mbissao, a small Senegalese locality.

The BMCE (Banque Marocaine de Commerce Exterieur) foundation is financing construction and equipment of the school, designed to resemble in its architecture its sister-school "Medersa.com," built by BMCE.

Benjelloun, who is also the chief-executive officer of BMCE bank, noted that the problem of education is almost the same in the two countries and requires the mobilization of all components of society, on the side of public authorities.
