The Real Madrid Foundation’s socio-sporting school is located in Tambacounda, the capital of the region, situated 400km from Dakar.

It’s a rural community characterised by a weak social, economic and educational context and a majority Muslim population.  The school is situated in a Professional Formation Centre in a Salesian community. The people who benefit from the project are students from the Professional Formation Centre as well as the boys and girls from the area, coming from vulnerable families. As well as taking part in sports, the school offers workshops about health and hygiene, cinema about non-violence, theater works about environmental sensitivity, chat about education and value and social tournaments.
