Hi guys! I’m looking for some volunteer work. I’m 17 and I’m looking to volunteer so I can put it on my college resume for when I go back to America. If you know of any please let me know.

Hello everyone I’m looking for charity opportunities to do back home. To build a well, diakk or anything. Anyone know the best route to go about it?

Hey so i'm 17 and i have been video editing for about 8 months and i've gained alot of skills in it. I'm a native senegalese and i've been looking to turn this into a part time job (with school combined) but no luck. Any of you guys know where i should start?

Anyone have a good recipe for kane sauce? i.e. the super hot sauce/relish they have in restaurants for dishes like mafe or yassa? There used to be a Senegalese store in Atlanta where I bought a bunch of it, but the store closed and I want to make some for myself. Dieurdieuf waay!

Hey all!

I bought lots of Kinkeliba tea on a recent trip to Mauritania from a Senegalese market. Now I'm doing a month of fasting and I would like to use the tea as a cleansing support.

I'm not sure about the best way to prepare the tea from the dried leaves though. How would you typically prepare the tea and what things would I need to account for to get the most benefits? Any tips would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

So, I stumbled upon this place recently, and I’m honestly surprised more people don’t talk about it! If you’re ever in Dakar and looking for a unique spot to work, relax, or even spend the night, this is it.

Loman Art House is a mix of an art gallery, Airbnb, rooftop, cafe, and event space, all set in a peaceful, artsy atmosphere in Mamelles. The space itself is incredible—it has a green garden by the pool, a rooftop with a bar and lounge seats and tables, and even a higher sky terrace with a stunning view of the area. There’s also an Art Cafe where you can grab coffee or lunch, plus a smaller lounge terrace above the cafe that’s perfect for studying or remote work.

Here’s what you can do here:

✅ Co-Work & Study – Work from the rooftop, the cozy terrace, or by the pool. ✅ Explore & Buy Art – Browse the art gallery featuring local Senegalese and other African artists, with pieces available for purchase. ✅ Hang Out & Eat – The cafe serves great coffee, drinks, and food throughout the day. ✅ Attend Events – They host concerts, art exhibitions, themed dinners, and workshops almost every week. ✅ Stay Overnight – They have six guest rooms on Airbnb for a unique, artsy stay. ✅ Join Activities – Pilates classes every Saturday, art workshops, and other creative sessions. ✅ Book Private Events – You can rent the space for weddings, conferences, private dinners, and more.

It’s super chill during the day—great for working, reading, or just escaping the noise—and by night, it turns into a social and artistic hub with live music, cultural nights, and exhibitions. Some events are open to the public, while others can be privatized, so definitely check their Instagram for updates.

Honestly, pictures don’t do this place justice—you have to experience it in person. If you’re ever in Mamelles, I highly recommend stopping by, whether for a coffee, a rooftop drink, or just to check out the art.

Has anyone else been here before? Or do you have other hidden spots in Dakar to recommend?

Qu'est ce qu'on peut faire un dimanche matin à Dakar ? Any suggestion ?

Is a bar a good business in Senegal?

My team is in the Super Bowl, and I'll be in Dakar during the big event. Where can I watch the big game? Maybe amongst local fans (are there Senegalese who enjoy American football?) or American ex-pats? I realize it'll be around midnight in Dakkar when the game starts, but there's likely somewhere open. It would be fun to have this unique experience!

Hey, how can I get a Senegalese virtual sim number? Also, does any of the sim providing companies(orange, free, Tigo..etc) work today?

As the title indicates I am looking for a second job part-time or remotely (preferably) Is it easy for those who have two jobs? And how to find a second job?

I am starting to realize after 3 months of work (full time) that my salary will not be enough for me. I am an only child and I have a lot of expenses. I plan to do one or two training courses in sha Allah. I am in the pharmaceutical field and therefore I have a very heavy workload. What can you advise me please?

Nakam! I'm traveling to Senegal with my fiance in a few months and I wanted to gather advice on our planned itinerary: 3 days in Saly, 3 days in Dakar, and 3 days in St. Louis. We are both very adventurous and would like to spend more of our time experiencing culture and nature, not lounging in resorts. As such, we were mostly planning on staying in Saly to visit Bandia and Joal Fakiout.

Additionally, we typically stay in hostels to be around other travelers but we haven't found many hostels in any of our destinations. Are there any hostel-like arrangements in the country? Else what would y'all recommend staying in for adventurous-minded people who would prefer to stay away from resorts. I've found a few art house bed and breakfasts that seem nice.

jërëjëf!

I am looking for recommendations for clinic/hospitals to give birth in Senegal . Looking for somewhere clean and nice where the staff is actually kind . Also is there any way to hire midwifes and Doulas here if i opted for a home birth

If you’re American and not use to the Senegalese water could it break make your face break out if you aren’t use to it?

Bonjour à tous, j’espère que ça va bien.

Je cherche un terrain de basket où je peux me joindre après 20h un jeudi soir pour jouer au basket. Je reste à Yoff mais le terrain de basket Djily Mbaye est en construction. J’ai trouvé quelques autres terrains mais ils sont assez loin (ex: sicap baobab) mais il y avait personne hier soir vers 21h.

J’aimerais bien aller à un terrain où c’est presque certain qu’ils y a des gens qui jouent et que je puisse me joindre à eux. Si possible 5 contre 5 full court mais 3 contre 3 ça va aussi. Dakar est gros alors j’ai peur d’aller de terrain en terrain et ne pas pouvoir soit jouer parce que les gens ne me laissent pas ou il y a personne.

J’essaye de jouer dans le plus de pays possible et j’espère vraiment que le Sénégal pourrait être mon 40e pays.

Merci de votre aide!

Hi guys! I’m an American/ Senegalese teen who came this year from America. I was wondering if there was any jobs for teens that speak English.

Hi guys,

This is stressing me out a bit. I’m a woman (30). I have dual nationality (UK and Sierra Leone). I am trying to get my visa process started and I honestly don’t know where to start.

I have a job and I was hoping they might be able to support with the work visa process? I saw there is a possibility of getting a year long visa. But then also I have an ECOWAS passport and I am seeing conflicting information about whether I can stay.

I have been here just over three months so I am a bit panicked. Any help would be appreciated.

Je fais partie d'une équipe d'étudiants en architecture qui souhaitent aider la communauté en construisant une école afin que les étudiants n'aient pas à voyager loin pour poursuivre leurs études. Pour le moment, nous n'avons pas trouvé suffisamment d'informations sur l'endroit et nous voulons savoir où pouvons-nous en obtenir plus ou si quelqu'un ici sait qui contacter. toute aide sera appréciée.

I’m part of a team of architecture students wanting to help the community by constructing a school so students dont have to travel far for education. At the moment we havent find enough information about the place and we want to know where can we get more or if anyone here knows who to contact. any help will be appreciated.

Hello,

Je cherche des retours d'expériences de freelances en France qui ont réussi à investir dans l'immobilier au Sénégal.

Quel montage avez vous fait ?

Vous investissez en noms propres ou SCI ?

J'ai pensé à 2 options :

- actuellement j'ai une SASU et j'ai pensé créer une holding en France et une SCI au Sénégal. Ma crainte c'est ce qui va se passer quand ma société opérationnelle (SASU) cessera d'exister donc plus de sous à remonter à la holding. Et aussi ce qui se passera si toutefois je clôture la holding.

- j'ai pensé aussi à utiliser mes dividendes pour acheter en nom propre mais je perds un peu d'argent avec les impôts.

Avez vous des avis ou recommandations ?

What countries are better liked by the Senegalese and why?

Hi! Im doing my Master’s in Finance, and my thesis focuses on remittances and household financial stability in Senegal. Senegal is one of the top remittance-receiving countries in Africa, and I want to analyze whether these inflows contribute more to consumption, savings, or long-term investments like real estate and education.

To do this, I plan to assess different time periods, comparing years with high vs. low remittance inflows or economic shifts like currency fluctuations or the pre/post-pandemic period. I aim to see how key indicators—household savings rates, real estate investment, and education spending etc—move in response to remittance trends. Since correlation does not imply causation, I plan to test for a more robust relationship by using regression models…

I’m still in the early stages of my research and open to any thoughts, questions, or recommendations. If anyone has research papers, reports, or data sources related to this topic, I’d love to hear about them. I’m also open to sources in French. Thanks in advance!😊😊😊

Hello! So, as I wrote in the title, I'm Senegalese-American and I want to improve my Wolof skills. There aren't many Senegalese people in my hometown or at my university so I don't have anyone to practice with apart from my parents. I would say my Wolof is a little under intermediate level, but I have trouble understanding TV shows, music, etc. If anyone could provide me with resources that are beyond beginner level, I would really appreciate it! Thank you.

Hi all,

In the next five months, I am planning to start building a house in Dakar. I am currently searching for the best constructor in Dakar who offers excellent quality at the best rates. If you have any recommendations or experiences with reliable constructors, please let me know. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Looking to see where folks get tested for ADHD in Senegal.

Hey everyone, 🥰❤️

I’m looking for anyone who’s been to a highly reputable orthodontist in Dakar, for braces or Invisalign as I want to avoid wasting money on a bad clinic or an unqualified specialist. I’m really looking to go to the best of the best. Any recommendations or experiences would be super helpful !

Was the result satisfactory? Did it actually help with your bite and reposition your teeth as expected?

I’d also love to know the average cost if possible.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone have yellow / reddish eyes, how did you remove it?
