To look behind the prison walls is to catch a glimpse of one of the world’s most stigmatized and precarious populations. Seeing beyond the walls means not forgetting their families, their children and the victims.

In Côte d’Ivoire, a new intake of students from the Onésime centre has just celebrated the end of their training. Congratulations to these young people! This project of a center for children in conflict with the law was the subject of a television report. You too can discover this project in pictures.
We’ve just received a great report from Togo on the prisoner rehabilitation project underway there. This interesting 4-minute video, produced locally by our partner in the field, is well worth watching.
This summer, for once, it was Dr Henri N’Yamien – coordinator of the Onésime project in Côte d’Ivoire – who made the trip to Switzerland. What a pleasure it was to share precious moments of exchange with this – very – long-standing partner, who stands out for his unfailing professionalism and commitment, as well as his permanent smile!
Julie wannaz, a member of the Chryzalid committee, went to Nepal at the end of 2022 to see for herself the project to support the children of prisoners. Convinced by the strong concrete impacts of this project, she advocated renewing Chryzalid’s support for a second year. The project will run from June 2023 to June 2024 and will benefit more than 170 children!
The young people at the Onésime center studied for 9 months to obtain their diploma. Not only their parents, but also village chiefs, judicial authorities and the press came to celebrate their journey and this paper, synonymous with a new start, far from delinquency.

“I study in 3rd class and live with my grandmother. My mother abandoned me before my father was released. Now he’s out of prison, but he’s gone to India. He couldn’t earn money because of his health problems. I’m studying thanks to the Nepal Prison Fellowship program, and they’ve also helped us build a house. Now I can live safely in this house with my grandmother. »
