Paragraph
Paragraph text
In Islamic societies in West and Central Africa, parents entrust their children into the care of a Marabout (religious teacher) so that they may obtain a religious education. This education system is abused and results in the exploitation of children with some Koranic teachers sending children to beg on the streets of big cities where they must collect a certain sum of money each day and provide their own meals.
