The aim of this project is to enable these teenagers to benefit from an academic education in the basic subjects of languages, mathematics and geography, to receive vocational training in promising trades, and to have a suitable living environment with accommodation and food. The aim is to ensure that the planned activities run smoothly, to protect the teenagers from possible temptations and to guarantee the success of their personal and professional endeavours.
Teenagers talibes, who are often overlooked in conventional care in favour of younger children aged between 3 and 14. They are left out of the mainstream system because they have no formal education and are not professionally trained to practise a trade, and most often find themselves repeating the daaras pattern by becoming Koranic teachers in their turn. At this age, they are obliged to go and work in the markets as porters for women, assisting vendors and so on.

In the long term, our aim is to offer talibe adolescents better prospects for the future, and to combat their exploitation, illegal emigration and the proliferation of daaras. By giving these teenagers the opportunity to receive vocational training, we hope to make them role models and relays within their communities to combat the exploitation of children.
