Who Are We?

An initiative born from the will to give hope back.

Our Origins

Our History

Un Retour est Possible (UREP) was founded in 2023 by Madame Diarra Racine Sow, following research conducted as part of a European Union programme on the housing conditions of sub-Saharan female migrants in Tangier (Morocco).

Faced with the harsh reality experienced by Senegalese and West African migrants stranded in their migratory journey, the idea of an association dedicated to accompanying their return and reintegration became a necessity.

The association was officially constituted and registered in 2024, bringing together multidisciplinary experts committed to offering comprehensive support to migrants wishing to return to their home country.
