Mali
In Mali, nearly 50% of the population is aged below 14. Many children migrate to find work and risk exploitation, physical and moral violence and an ill-adapted legal system. In this West African country we accompany migrating children and strengthen the juvenile justice system. So as to improve child health, we fight malnutrition and support local healthcare centres.
What we do
Mother and child health
Juvenile justice
Child migrants
Specialised treatment
Key projects
“Before, we didn’t know what to do when people called us about children who were unaccompanied migrants, beggars or living in the street. We didn’t know how to look after them. Now we have the training and tools to help.”
Sophie Dara Kassogue, Director of the Maison de la Femme et de l’Enfant (Institute for Women and Children) in Mopti
