A return to Childhood

Children’s Dreams gives them something else — even if only for a day. Through sports, music, and inspiring encounters with artists, athletes, and mentors, talibé boys are reminded that they are not invisible. Their voices matter. Their dreams are real. And there is more waiting for them than struggle alone.

The forgotten children. Like Rémi in Nobody’s Boy, thousands of talibé boys in Senegal grow up far from their families — sent away when their parents can no longer care for them. Families are promised safety, Quranic education, and shelter. But in reality, many of these children end up begging on the streets, enduring hardship, and living without the love, play, and protection that every childhood should hold.

“ You just think lovely, wonderful thoughts…

and they lift you up in the air”

• We bring back imagination and trust — the essence of childhood.

• By showing real-life role models, we help talibé boys dream beyond the street.

• What begins as a single day can grow into lasting hope.
