our work through the eyes of children.

The story of dIABOU (16)

What better way to imagine the impact our programs have on children's lives than through the stories of the children themselves?

Meet Diabou (16) from Senegal.

This is Diabou Ale Seydi. She's 16 and from Kolda, in southern Senegal. She participated in a training where we chose an activity from our resilience toolkit: the emotion wheel.
Diabou explains what the exercise did for her:

"When I'm angry, I lash out and feel like destroying everything. I see my younger brothers imitating me. Thanks to this exercise, I can now go home and sit down with them to start doing things differently." - DIABOU (16)
