Picture by Falli: The huts have been abandoned

Just like in other countries, in Mali homelessness is a serious social issue. An organisation called Jeunesse et Développement (Youth and Development) worked in partnership with On the Line to organise a conference for street kids, the young people who live rough in Mali.

Here you can read what street kids in Mopti, a town in Mali, said about their lives, as well as the comments of  the people who work with them.
