Between 2014 and 2017, AVN was instrumental in the construction
of the very first village built entirely of Nubian Vaults, implemented
by the NGOs Banlieues du Monde and Le Partenariat, and funded by the Dubai Charity Association.
Located in Mauritania, practically on the frontier formed by the river Senegal, the Sheikh Zayed Village of Diakré is made up of 51 private houses, a mosque, a literacy centre, and a maternity clinic. The beneficiaries of the project are Mauritanian refugees who fled their country during the war.

The Empire of Wagadu (Ouagadou), more commonly known as the Ghana Empire, was a powerful state in the Medieval Sahel of West Africa, and one of the earliest in written record. With origins in antiquity and a reputation for wealth and glory in contemporary sources, it has long been an icon of Black history, though today it tends to be overshadowed by the later Mali Empire.
