ASED
Improving the conditions of Jamono Sheikh Wade Pre-school
Location
The school is located in the commune of Ndiarème-Limamoulaye in the town of Guédiawaye. This poor urban suburb in the north-east of Dakar was created in 1967 to accommodate people expelled from the growing capital. The commune of Ndiarème-Limamoulaye has a population of about 40’000 inhabitants on a surface area of 1.5 km².
Context
Jamono Cheikh Wade Pre-School was built in 1995 in an abandoned building. It was provided free of charge by the town hall. The premises have been rehabilitated and currently accommodate 210 children aged between 3 months and 5 years divided into four sections (toddlers, small section, medium section and large section).
Partnership
The Project Partner is the Economic Interest Group (EIG) Mossane Services, a community-based initiative that established the Jamono Cheikh Wade Community Pre-school. The GIE and the school are chaired by Mrs. Yandé Diop, a woman very committed to the development of her community who has received several official recognitions.
