The House of Artemisia of Tekane was created in 2019 thanks to the Association Against Tuberculosis and Endemic Diseases ACTUME and more particularly thanks to the long term work led by its founder and president Oumar Kane and his team.
The project development began in 2018, with the construction of a Community Solidarity Pharmacy.
After years of work and many unforeseen events related to the pandemic, the community pharmacy was inaugurated on July 30, 2022. It comprises a training area, a social area and an ecological aspect with research in phytotherapeutic culture and reforestation.
This was also an opportunity for ACTUME to inaugurate the medicinal plant promotion garden annexed to the pharmacy and the new solar pumping station in Tékane, which supplies the needs of 100 ha of market garden crops.
