Graine d’Espoir have a dream!
Graine d’Espoir dreams of a place where street children can
- reunite with their families when possible and in all cases feel that they belong to the Graine d’Espoir family,
- flourish, play sports, music, or other activities and arts,
- go to school and get a job,
- and receive a health education and appropriate medical care.
To achieve this, Graine d’Espoir dreams of a place where people are willing to invest in street children, and so we are calling on you.
Would you like to dream with us?
The association’s vision that every child counts calls for Graine d’Espoir to expand in order to meet the massive needs of the children on the streets of Dakar. From a practical standpoint, Graine d’Espoir would therefore like to acquire a land in Dakar or near Dakar to begin this adventure!
The goal is to enable this place to become self-sufficient, both financially (private schools, renting out sports fields, etc.) and in terms of human resources, with competent individuals who have undeniable human qualities (educators, teachers, athletes, “parents at heart,” etc.) to care for the children.
Graine d’Espoir is convinced that a joint effort can impact and change the lives of many children.
To achieve this, we present to you:
“THE 3-IN-1 PROJECT”
1 mission: get children off the streets!
3 projects: we aim to create in Dakar a shelter and reintegration centre offering children living on the streets a safe, educational and caring environment, enabling their social, educational and professional reintegration.
To ensure the sustainability and funding of this centre’s operations, we aim to launch two educational projects: a music school and a football school.
100% of the profits from these 2 private schools will go towards the shelter and reintegration centre project for children living on the streets.
