The goal is to provide students and parents with a beautiful school that will inspire a love of learning.

The goal is to enable students in this area to attend high school while staying with their families and to improve their learning conditions.

In the short term, we would like to build three classrooms, restrooms, and an office. In the future, since our village has only one public elementary school and one middle school, we plan to expand the school by combining the elementary and middle schools to accommodate all students who struggle to succeed in the public school system. Because when they fail, they either drop out of school or have to travel to neighboring villages—which are 5 to 7 km away—to continue their education under often difficult conditions.

St. Jean Bosco Elementary School is a private school founded in 2018 by Brother Nathanael Tabla, a member of the St. Jean Catholic community. It was established to make education more accessible to the village’s children by offering low tuition (between €15 and €30 per month). It is located in Toubab Dialaw, a village on the Petite Côte south of Dakar, Senegal.

• The classrooms are unfinished; only the left wing has been built (see photos).
• The current facility cannot accommodate the expected number of students in the Toubab Dialaw area. Some students travel long distances to Yenne High School.
• There is no water fountain; 30-liter water jugs are brought to the school every day.
• There is no cafeteria, no infirmary, and no first-aid kit on the school grounds.

The project to create the SAINT JEAN-BOSCO school complex comes at just the right time. This new school complex will help address certain challenges facing the municipality’s education system.

Vision: To build an environment where every child can envision success. A modern school will be made available to the school-age population in the area, along with local transportation options.
