Raise awareness

World Vision Mauritania 27

My name is Ahmed Daouda Tidiane Dia, imam and president of the Boghe Oulemas/imams association.

I am married and have several children. I took advantage of World Vision's workshops on CP, CFCs and CoH and led the communication of the concepts I learned to other imams and communities. My commitment and opportunities as an imam in my work with WV have opened my eyes and inspired me to modernize my Mahadra.

Today I have a Mahadra where the talibés (students of the Koranic school or mahadra) do not beg in the streets and do not go to the markets for food or money. Our talibés are now protected against all forms of exploitation and violence.

As an imam and CFC facilitator, I advocate through local radio, Friday prayer and community events to promote child protection, especially the talibés and the eradication of child marriage, FGM and child abuse.
