"To substantially improve living conditions, teaching and learning, and the transmission of knowledge, skills, and interpersonal skills in daaras, among other places." This is the government's objective through its "One Talibé, One Career" program, which aims to provide beneficiaries with vocational training and facilitate their economic integration. The launch took place in the commune of Tivaouane, which is home to approximately 17,000 talibés and 226 daaras.

According to the Director of Apprenticeships at the Ministry of Vocational and Technical Training, the government is implementing concrete solutions to improve the learning conditions of talibés. Souleymane Kane reports that the goal is to train these young people in professions aligned with the local economy and to support their professional integration. The program also provides training and support to "ndayou daara," sponsors of Quranic schools, to help them develop income-generating activities and contribute to improving the living conditions of talibés, particularly in terms of food and hygiene.

"Soon, the Minister of Vocational and Technical Training will formalize this program, which aims to strengthen the training, organization and support of talibés, thus contributing to their socio-economic integration," said Mr. Kane.

This was an opportunity for Serigne Ahmed Sy Al Amine to express, on behalf of the General Caliph of Tidianes, Serigne Babacar sy Mansour, Hadara's support for this initiative led by the municipality of Tivaouane. The religious leader emphasized the importance of such an initiative for a city historically linked to Koranic teaching.

The prefect of Tivaouane, Mamadou Guèye, recalled that this program is part of the vision of the Head of State Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye, who wants "a better integration of daaras into the official education system", with a firm desire to structure these establishments, train their teachers and promote access to vocational training for talibés.

A community day organized on the sidelines of the launch of the program, to pay tribute to the learners of the daaras and improve their living conditions, resulted in the provision of 17,000 copies of the Holy Quran, 5,000 mattresses, 500 three-ply mats, 500 kettles and 500 buckets.

In the area of health and protection for talibés, the enrollment of 2,000 talibés in the Universal Health Coverage (CMU) program, in collaboration with the "ndayous daara" and the Léerou Maodo health insurance fund, and the provision of basic necessities. In addition, the inclusion of certain daaras in the provision of school supplies, thus reinforcing the government's commitment to their well-being and future.
