Our ambition is to build a nurturing environment where every child can grow, learn, and dream, surrounded by a supportive network ready to help them build a bright future.

This is Gaby Gaël
Gaby, orphaned at birth, is lovingly cared for by Mariam and Basile. Thanks to their love and devotion, he receives food, care, and affection every day. Their home is a true haven of safety, warmth, and hope.
Saving Lives, Together
Every year, newborns lose their mothers or are abandoned by young women in distress, sometimes in the forest or in a toilet. Deprived of care, protection, and love, they need immediate support to survive and grow.
Our organization works to save these newborns, providing them with care, protection, and a dignified living environment. With the support of our donors and partners, we can ensure their care and give them a real chance at a future.
