Archstorming launches a new humanitarian architecture competition to rethink education through earth construction and innovation.

In rural Senegal, thousands of children are forced to abandon school after completing primary education due to the absence of secondary schools. This is the case in Djilakh, a village of over 4,000 people with two primary schools but no secondary school—resulting in alarmingly high dropout rates, especially among girls.

To address this urgent need, Archstorming and the NGO Let’s Build My School (LBMS) have launched the Senegal Secondary School competition, inviting architects and students to design a flexible, sustainable, and replicable secondary school in Djilakh—one that can also become a reference model for future construction in the region.

The project will accommodate 160 students with new classrooms, a multipurpose space, restrooms, and an agricultural area.

Participants are encouraged to use earth-based construction techniques and propose innovative roofing solutions that enhance thermal comfort and can be replicated across the region.
This vision builds on the success of Archstorming’s first collaboration with Let’s Build My School (LBMS): the Sambou Toura Drame School, completed in 2022, which not only improved access to education, but also boosted the local economy and revolutionized building practices in the area.
