One foot in front of the other!!!!
This period marked an important transition for the children of A Child For All (ACFA), as they enjoyed their summer break with extended family members (those who have one) or ACFA’s board members who volunteered to take them in, before returning to Zorokoro in September to prepare for the new academic year which started October 1st.
Summer Break and Family Reconnection!!!!
During the summer months, the children had the opportunity to spend quality time with their extended families or board members’ families. This is an important part of ACFA's commitment to maintaining family connections, strengthening children's sense of belonging, and preserving their cultural and community ties. These periodic visits conducted during non-school periods are critical lifeline for our children providing emotional, cognitive, and social development, and supporting seamless re-integration into the society when they graduate from ACFA!
Return to ACFA and New School Year!!!!
In September, the children returned to ACFA, where preparations had been underway for the new school year. The staff had engaged with the cleaning and organizing for the children return. For the children, the transition included settling back into their daily routines and preparing for the resumption of academic activities.
The 2026–2027 academic year officially began on October 1, 2026, marking another important milestone in the children's educational journey. ACFA remains committed to ensuring that the children have a supportive environment in which they learn, grow, and develop the skills needed for a brighter future.
Looking Ahead
As the school year progresses, ACFA's priorities remain focused on supporting the children's educational success, health, nutrition, and overall well-being. We also continue working toward strengthening the long-term sustainability of our programs to ensure that vulnerable children in Mali have access to the care and opportunities they deserve.
