Who We Are

PTPI Senegal is proud to be an official member of the PTPI Global Coordination Centre (GCC), following more than 20 years of collaboration with People to People International.

Our chapter is rooted in Dakar and is dedicated to educational leadership, cultural exchange, and community development. We are committed to growing PTPI’s presence across Africa and beyond by strengthening relationships with chapters in Europe, the U.S., and Asia.

Led by Manel Diallo — former PTPI Trustee and CEO of Groupe Scolaire Privé “Bakary Diallo” in Richard-Toll — PTPSN embodies PTPI’s values of peace, empathy, and understanding.
