These seats could be theirs, but they’re out on streets

In Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, thousands of children live in street situations. It is estimated that around 15,000 children are in this situation, often deprived of the essentials: a home, protection, education and opportunities.

The Akwaba Center represents a space of hope, a welcoming place where children have the opportunity to rebuild their lives through care, education and comprehensive support.

  • By networking with other Lasallian nonprofits, we have created engaging resources for you, with the main purpose of raising awareness about global inequalities, particularly in access to education.

  • The campaign is open to schools, teachers, parents, and anyone who believes that education is a key tool to empower children and young people, foster civic participation, and break the cycle of social exclusion.

  • You have an essential role as an educator, helping children and young people grow — not only academically, but also as thoughtful, compassionate citizens of the world.
