"Life as a talibé is very difficult, especially when it comes to eating. It is a real challenge. I have to beg all day to find something to eat, and sometimes I find nothing and go to bed hungry."

“We live in poverty. In our home there is no food and we also want to go to school but we do not have school supplies. So we are unable to go to school. The opening of the feeding center in Kornaka was a huge blessing to my family."

"In addition to poverty, with all the war problems that Tillabéri faces because of terrorists, life is very hard. Often, my mother did not have enough to prepare food for us, and we were forced to beg for crumbs to put in our stomachs."

“Before I started coming to this center, I struggled to eat because I had to beg on the streets for money to get something to eat. So it is with joy that I attend every program that the feeding center offers because I can eat well for free.”

“Now I can come to the center not only to eat but also to be taught about the love of God. Before coming to the center I did not know that God loved me. I am really happy to come to this center but I am also very touched by all the kindness they show us there."
