You send money every month, but your mother dies without recognizing your face.

🌳 The Baobab of Choice — How does it work?

Every week Baobizz plunges you into a dilemma rooted in African realities.
No good answer, no bad one: two paths, two values, an impossible decision.

You've lived in Paris for twelve years. Every month, you transfer 300,000 CFAF to Dakar: your mother's rent to the Parcelles Assainies, your niece's tuition fees, your diabetic father's prescriptions. Your family considers you a hero. But you sleep in a 14-square-metre studio in Montreuil, you chain the CDDs, and your eight-year-old daughter, born here, doesn't speak Wolof. A childhood friend offers you to co-found a mango transformation company in Thiès. The project is strong, real opportunities. But coming home means cutting off transfers for at least a year — Maybe two. Your family will not understand the silence of the transfer.

What do you choose?


A — You go back and invest in Thiès and suspend family transfers.

B — You stay in Paris and keep sending money every month.
