Eco-friendly homes offer climate resilience in Senegal’s Matam region

In Matam, northeastern Senegal, where extreme heat persists almost year-round, an association collaborating with the Senegalese community in France is constructing eco-friendly homes using traditional designs to keep interiors cool without relying on electricity. This initiative aims to protect 1,700 residents and transform Agnam Lidoube into a benchmark for climate-resilient living. Report by Caitlin Kelly and Elimane Ndao.
