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.

The needs are much greater than what I can continue to carry alone. Our current needs include additional classrooms, desks and chairs, textbooks and school supplies, support for children's meals, toilets and sanitation facilities, playground equipment, and transportation for children who live far from the school.

TESTIMONI SPECIAL SCHOOLS NGBO LTD is experiencing increasing pressure on its existing classroom facilities as the number of students continues to grow. The school currently serves more than 600 students from JSS1 to SS3, with further admissions expected during the current term.
‍
The existing classroom facilities are not sufficient for the growing student population. Some of the available learning spaces are also below the standard learning environment the school seeks to provide, including classrooms with bare or sandy floors and open-sided conditions.

This shortage of suitable classroom space is becoming an important challenge to the school's ability to provide an adequate and comfortable learning environment for all its students. Without additional classrooms, continued growth in enrollment will place further pressure on the existing facilities.

The school therefore seeks support for the construction of additional permanent classrooms to increase capacity and provide students with a more suitable environment for teaching and learning.

King’s Glory currently serves 883 learners in Kamuli District, including vulnerable children from families that struggle to meet education needs. The existing learning space is not sufficient for the number of learners being served. Additional classrooms are needed to reduce pressure on the existing facilities and provide a safer and more suitable environment for teaching and learning.
