Antoka is an association created to take 200 street children to the bush to educate and give them a, early, but fresh start. The government assigns them to a deserted seed multiplication complex. 1,700 hectares to construct a school / atelier, a warehouse, a dormitory for girls, houses for teachers and the rest for cultivation. The plan is to distribute the land to the children once mature – 10 to 20 hectares each – in accordance with their individual capability to cultivate. The facility is run by three teachers, a storekeeper and help. An October 1987 inauguration brings a boat and a small mention in the local newspaper titled: ENFIN, ABRI ET AVENIR POUR LES 4’MIS (Finally, shelter and a future for the homeless)
