Our Programs
 Our many years of experience in the field have shown that community-led endeavors have lasting effects on the well-being of participants and their communities.
In our education program and in other projects, we use methods and approaches that enable participants to reflect on their previous experiences, gain new information, and make decisions based on a collaborative process that includes all members of their own and neighboring villages.
Currently, Tostan offers a 30-month holistic education program called the Community Empowerment Program to hundreds of villages in West and East Africa. In addition, Tostan has adapted a special version of this program for prisoners in Senegal.
For the past three years, Tostan has also worked on behalf of the talibés, young boys who are forced to beg in the streets of Senegalese urban areas.
