WELCOME TO JEUNESSE ACTIVE POUR LE ROYAUME

A roof, a meal, an education — give them a chance to live.

More than 100,000 children in Senegal and 43,000 in Congo live on the streets today. They sleep under open skies, without protection from the rain, the cold, or the harsh winds of sand. Many go to bed hungry, forced to beg just to survive, often exposed to violence and abuse.
At our organization, we believe that education is not possible without dignity — and dignity begins with shelter, food, and love. Our mission is to give every vulnerable child the chance to go to school, to eat every day, and to find safety beneath a roof they can call their own.

THE WORD OF THE FOUNDER

Every morning, I wake up with one image in mind — the faces of children sleeping on the streets, their eyes filled with both innocence and despair. These children could have been ours. They could have been yours. They belong to all of us, because every child is a part of our shared humanity. When I see a little boy begging for food instead of holding a pencil, or a young girl hiding from the rain instead of sitting in a classroom, I am reminded that education cannot exist without compassion. Our mission is not only to teach — it is to heal, to feed, and to restore hope. This organization was born from a simple conviction: every child deserves a chance to live, to learn, and to be loved. We are building more than schools; we are building futures. We are not just giving food; we are giving dignity. To everyone who joins hands with us — thank you. Your kindness, your prayers, and your support are the reasons why one more child will sleep safely tonight, why one more mother will smile with hope tomorrow. Together, let’s be the voice of those who cannot speak for themselves. Together, let’s be the light that breaks through their night.
