Our Roots
At the request of Senegalese nationals living in Gironde, Doctor Pierre Thocaven created in July 1997 the association Echange Nord-Sud (ENS) with the aim of supporting local development projects considered "priority", concerning health, education and youth.
This was the case mainly in Senegal, in Upper Casamance, in the regions of Kolda, Sédhiou and Vélingara. Since 2012, Burkina Faso has been a new beneficiary of the association's local development projects.
