Barthélémy, Filibert and Animatou each experienced exile, street life, exploitation and violence as migrant children in West Africa. Their destiny crossed paths with a social worker from RAO, the West African Network for the Protection of Children. In Togo, Benin or Burkina Faso, as in the sixteen RAO countries, eight stages punctuate the care of unaccompanied minors. Step by step, the three children are empowered until they become independent.
