In May 2025, Ria Money Transfer visited Bargny High School in Senegal to mark the inauguration of the school’s newly built computer room. Located east of Dakar, the school hosted a warm and vibrant celebration welcoming the Ria team. The event featured heartfelt speeches, a traditional goumber dance, and a surprise musical performance by singer Oumy, capturing the spirit of community and excitement.
The initiative stemmed from a real logistical challenge. Initially, Ria attempted to donate computers to the school, but the lack of appropriate infrastructure made it impossible. This challenge inspired the construction of a dedicated space to house the much-needed technology. Now, thanks to the partnership between Ria and the school, students have access to digital resources that were previously unavailable.
