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.

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.
