History and purpose (ASECD) was created in 1999 and officially recognized on April 14, 2000 under the receipt N°000050/MATS/PKAD/HC/SG. It is governed by Law No. 210-92 ADP of 15 December 1992 on freedom of association in Burkina Faso. It is a secular and apolitical structure, with the Ministry of Social Action and Solidarity as its guardianship. The first actions are carried out informally by Clément P. OUEDRAOGO current President of the Association. He offered clothes and shoes to children living on the street. The latter also received primary care. He managed to carry out these actions thanks to the donations he received from interns/volunteers who frequented his professional environment. In order to avoid the resurgence of children in the street, the association has focused its actions on prevention. Specific objectives: • Promote early childhood development through pre-schooling • Contribute to the increase in the number of children in school • Improve the diet of beneficiaries • Administering care to children • Allow children to develop through recreational activities • Improve the family, social and economic living conditions of children's families • Organize awareness sessions Promoting the socio-professional reintegration of living children on the street.
