Senegal 2017 – Day care center for street children in Dakar

In Senegal, many children are given to Marabuts as a student (Talibé). Often they come to a profiteering Marabut and are forcefully forced to beg, or they flee to the street.

Perspective Senegal offers escaped and abused Talibés a safe haven and a chance to live a normal life. In the training and residential center they learn to process their trauma and to develop confidence again. In addition to a basic education, they can follow a carpenter’s training, which opens up new perspectives for the future. The Help Children Foundation supports the creation of a day trip in Dakar to get more children off the road.
