Burkina-Faso


EDUCATION AND FOOD SUPPORT TO THE CHILDREN

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.

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)
