Anne Gasia is an educator, children’s advisor, in this structure for many years, she is worried regarding the future of these children: “We must support these children, otherwise what is their future?she wonders, We have a 15 year old girl, she didn’t go to school because she was protecting her little brother from her father’s beatings at home. Since she has been here, we have tried to put things in place. This young girl is in primary 6, at 15 years old. She tried to take her CEB, she didn’t succeed, she doesn’t even know how to tell the time. It’s not because she’s stupid or lacks desire, it’s just that she can’t concentrate in class!“
For the professional, it is necessary to put in place psychological support as soon as these children arrive in these structures, to avoid a spiral: “During adolescence, if they are not taken care of, there is a risk of aggressive behavior or falling into an addiction. Then as adults, what will they do? They too will be lost.“
The sector is therefore urgently calling for changes and care for these children, whose journey is already complicated.
