---

Kadiatou is 13 and has never been to school because her family could not afford the fees. When she first began attending classes at MindLeaps, she was often dirty, never showering, and with no motivation. She did not have many friends. Like many girls at the Center, Kadiatou’s self-esteem was low.  Through her training and support at MindLeaps, Kadiatou has transformed.  With encouragement during dance class, she is able to push herself much further. After a few short months, she has become determined and sociable. She now takes care of herself and has made many friends.

Kadiatou loves the dance and English classes at MindLeaps in particular. Some of her other favorite things are:

​Favorite color: red
Favorite animal: goat
Favorite dance move: saut de chat

Kadiatou now dreams of future careers and hopes to become a tailor one day.
