Nyeri (Kenya), Feb 23 (EFE/EPA).- (Camera: Daniel Irungu) It is recess and a group of girls make their way from the classroom to the dormitories, where pregnant students grab some respite while others nurse babies. Since January, the Serene Haven school in central Kenya has served as an oasis for teenage mothers of the so-called Covid generation.“Most of the girls we are getting are the ones who got pregnant during the Covid period, even those with small babies were conceived during Covid lockdowns,” Kelvin Ndegwa, who co-founded the school with his wife, Elizabeth Muriuki, tells Efe.

Dakar (Senegal), 17 Feb, EFE.- In Dakar, the capital of Senegal, many neighbourhoods have an overpopulation of cats, they are often seen wandering in the cities or protecting houses in the villages, but usually dirty, with wounds and flies. Street dogs can be stoned by children or adults, or have one or two legs amputated for taking a piece of meat they shouldn't have. This is not only a Senegalese reality, but it exists throughout the African continent, although it varies from country to country. (Camera: MARÍA RODRÍGUEZ Editor: AYEESHA HOLDER)

SOUNDBITES BY KOSSI, TOGOLESE RESIDENT OF DAKAR, AND MEDOUNE KASSÉ, SENEGALESE VETERINARIAN TRANSLATIONS - KOSSI, TOGOLESE RESIDENT OF DAKAR:- "People don't like them, most don't like them. They are stoned, and from the outset, they'll be gotten rid of."- "Usually Muslims don't like to be touched by dogs, but there are Muslims in Senegal who have dogs, although most don't like them."- "Some time ago on Ouakam beach, there were many dogs, many, many dogs, male, female, many dogs. One morning I went there and I didn't see them, so I asked and they told me that the government had carried out a poisoning campaign." MEDOUNE KASSÉ, SENEGALESE VETERINARIAN:- "Culturally we love animals here but this closeness that you Caucasians have, the West in general, we don't have that kind of inclination. You love your dog, but not in the same way. It's cultural, for example, here we won't sleep with a dog."- "There is still a lot of awareness work to be done. It would be necessary for people to get even closer and consider animals not as simple animals that can be replaced, but as an entity with a personality."- "The religious aspect is mainly in relation to dogs. - "The other religious aspect is more about dogs. There is a religious belief, I don't know if it is verified or not honestly, that says if you are touched by a dog you have to do your ablutions seven times."
