Burkina-Faso


SUPPORT TO THE LITERACY OF CHILDREN AND TO AGRICULTURE

Context : In the heart of Burkina-Faso, in the province of Oubritenga, a region of Guié, 10 villages have decided, since 1989, to take on their own development in order to fight by all means against desertification. They have created the association Zoramb Naagtaabaa. This Burkinabe association is directed by a Frenchman, Henri Girard, whom in the last twenty years, has lead, side by side with this population, agricultural, educational and health programmes. In 1991, 89% of the population was illiterate. The association is developping the education of the province's children by supporting the public schools (creation of 6 schools), by organizing adults' training sessions, setting school sponsoring, alphabetization lessons and creation of libraries.

Since 2002, Mission Enfance has carried out educational training back up to the teachers, has rehabilitated the school of Lindi, constructed the school of Kuila (teacher's loging in Kuila financed by the Direction de la Coopération Internationale of the Principality of Monaco), the school of Doenghin and Namassa, constructed two classrooms in Guié and the wells necessary to the schools' existence. Mission Enfance sends containers yearly, takes part in the functionning of the AZN. Also, since 2006, Mission Enfance has created agricultural perimeters in Cissé Yargo and Ouahigouya.

In 2010, Mission Enfance will be building the second part of the Guié secondary school for 240 pupils, who are obliged to walk long kilometers in order to attend the town schools. After having established primary eduction in this region, it came as logical to pursue education towards young people of secondary schools. This project is set in partnership in 2010, with the DCI and the Stavros Niarcho Foundation.

Our agricultural programme carries on in 2010.

 

Aim of the project :

- Improve the education in the region of Guié
- Help this region's population to be self-sufficient food wise
- Support and reinforce a village association axed on social, agricultural and health development in order to fight desertification.

Partners : Association Zoramb Naagtaaba A.Z.N (Henri Girard)
