Sadio Mané who is a footballer born in the town has helped by reinvesting and "building new facilities such as a school in 2019." In March 2020, Mané donated £41,000 ($52,564; €46,083) to the national committee fighting COVID-19 in Senegal. In 2021, he donated £500,000 ($684,932; €561,987) towards the construction of a hospital. In addition, he has also financed the building of a petrol station and a post office for his local community, supplying the school with free laptops and internet from the 4G internet service he financed in the village. In total, he has spent more than £700,000 ($684,932; €561,987) on these upgrades. In addition, he commissioned a €70-a-month stipend to each family in his 2,000-person hometown.
