Construction of 26 New Classrooms - St Jean Bosco

Sénégal
|
Toubab Dialaw

Problem/ Context

The school originally planned (32 classrooms) was not fully completed due to a lack of funding. The current capacity (6 classrooms) is insufficient to meet the needs of the village and the surrounding areas.

Detailed project description

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.

Our pupil numbers have increased, and we have been forced to triple the size of the SIL and CP classes, double the size of the CM1 class, and use the parish hall – which is outside the school grounds – for the CM2 class. We therefore wish to plan ahead for the start of the next school year.

In rural areas around Hargeisa, many children from low-income families face significant barriers to accessing quality education due to the lack of schools, long distances to existing educational facilities, and limited financial resources. As a result, many children are unable to attend school or continue their education. Girls and vulnerable children are particularly affected by these challenges. This project aims to address these problems by building a school that provides accessible, safe, and affordable quality education for children from disadvantaged families. The school will help improve literacy, create equal educational opportunities, and contribute to the long-term development of the local community.

Kins Favour Academy, located in Dagoretti North Sub-County, Nairobi County, Kenya, was established in August 2009 with just one learner and has grown to approximately 405 learners, from Kindergarten to Junior Nine.However, the school’s growth has created a significant need for adequate and permanent learning facilities. Many learners currently study in temporary classrooms, which do not provide the long-term, stable learning environment required by a growing school. Limited financial resources have made it difficult to complete the remaining construction works. Without additional support, the school will continue facing challenges in providing adequate, durable learning spaces for its growing number of learners.
