Nursery of the Franciscan Sisters

On August 5, 1955 is based the Nursery of the Franciscan Sisters Missionaries of Mary.
The first goal was to complete the work overload of hospital services did not allow them to do.
Forced prematurely out of hospitals, children treated for malnutrition, malnutrition, kwashiorkor, the Nursery takes over consoliderr intensify the action started at the hospital
Occurs soon a second, more urgent appeal as the first: Home newborn do not mother had just died and do not survive grves poses problems:
Precarity hygiene means.
Material and financial difficulties of artificial feeding a toddler.
 Tabopus, customs that are not in favor of the survival of the baby.
These reasons dictated our conduct in the evolution of the Nursery to accept temporaiment to remove the child from his environment, but for longer, a better life.
It is not to be easy option but to substitute for difficult or impossible cases. The tiny baby keep contact with the family is the purpose for parents to make the visit on Sunday afternoon.
We give the child maximun possible so that samples life. If he is developing normally and eat country food (rice, fish, egg, meat, vegetables) is returned to the family at the age of 8 months.
Very premature remain until start 9 or even 10 months. BBefore their release they receive EPI vaccines. We continue to help the family by asking the latter to come each month seeking food intake in children's milk until they go two (2) years when the family can take charge of their child.
The Nursery answers another call more crucial than the last: abandonné.Ici accommodate the baby and the sons are born not recognized their father. This recognition is essential for the baby to be accepted by the family.

There are two kinds of abandoned children:
Babies found on the streets, on the beaches or in the trash. The police brought us these little ones either directly or more often a apr`s coourt stay in the manger of the Dantec where she went deposit the hospital. .
Babies whose birth is a problem for the family, for a few reasons whatsoever: illegitimate child, parents who are not of the same ethnicity, accident in a young girl and the father rejects ruthlessly, and the Mother comes to the disavowal of motherhood.
These babies are entrusted by the Regional Court of Dakar and will be raised, fed, pampered to Pouponnnière, UNTIL the time the President shall entrust them to a family that an adoption application.
Adoption applications are made either by Africans or by those from other continents
The Nursery also receives exceptionally newborn that is problematic due to hospitalization of his mother. You will take the baby until start healing the mother.
