The Savingara association, based in The Savarières highschool (Nantes), was created in 2011 and declared in 2014. The association organises collections, Senegalese craft sales, solidarity evenings etc. in order to collect funds to help improve the living conditions and health education for children of Senegalese villages. In 2011, the association visited the village of Saly Velingara in Senegal to implement the projects that they worked on in partnership with the inhabitants: the Health Hut has been fully restored and material donations were delivered.
On the 10th of May 2012, members of Savingara attended the commemoration of the abolition of slavery in the presence of Jean-Marc Ayrault (then mayor of Nantes) and Cameroonian writer Leonora Miona, guest of honor at the ceremony.
