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 developing 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 constructed
and rehabilitated 5 schools, dug
their wells, their teacher's logging.
Mission Enfance sends containers
yearly, takes part in the functioning
of the AZN. Also, since 2006, Mission
Enfance has created agricultural
perimeters in Cissé Yargo
and Ouahigouya.
In 2012, at Guié, we are
finalizing the construction of a
nursery dued to welcome and care
for the babies abandonned in the
bush. We will also be equiping the
children attending the AZN's schools'
built or rehabilitated by Mission
Enfance. We will be supporting the
education department of this burkinabe
association, by financing the people
in charge and the projects lead
in collaboration with this team.
In Ouahigouya too, we are pursuing
our agricultural programme, with
Pamoussa, in order to assure food
self-sufficiency to the villagers
of this region, by a better management
of the water in the perimeters created
for that purpose.
