Supporting Vulnerable Street Children

In the heart of Sevare, Mali, the initiative to support street children known as “Les GARIBU”, stands as a beacon of compassion and resilience. Amidst the innumerable challenges faced by these children in their daily lives, IDECO goes beyond addressing immediate needs by celebrating birthdays, offering not just meals and gifts, but a lifeline of safety, nutrition, and dignity. The importance of such celebrations goes beyond the festive atmosphere; it becomes a powerful affirmation of the worth of each child.

In a community where these youngsters have been abandoned by their parents as early as two years old, these birthday celebrations provide more than just joy — they offer a meaningful connection and a reminder that compassion can sow seeds of hope for a brighter and more promising future. Each moment of dining, dancing, and receiving unexpected gifts becomes a transformative experience, impacting the children by restoring a sense of belonging, fostering resilience, and introducing a glimpse of joy they might have never imagined.

This project not only provides material support but also plays a crucial role in shaping the minds and spirits of Les GARIBU, illustrating that every child, regardless of their circumstances, deserves moments of celebration, love, and the belief in a better tomorrow.
