Tucson Festival of Books

Elhadj Ndoye


Elhadj Ndoye was born and raised in Senegal, West Africa. In 1995, he removed himself from his own people, language and country to pursue his education in the United States.  Elhadj has more than twenty years of successful banking experience in Tucson, and is a University of Arizona alumnus.  His biggest inspiration is to give back. In creating The Forgotten Children foundation, he saves and serves orphaned, impoverished and homeless children in M’bour, Senegal, through its boarding school providing safe housing, nourishment and education.
