Help 20 refugee children study for their future

For the school year 2024-2025, we had 1 student in the 4th year and 3 students in the 5th year of the LAP from refugees families.

The student in 4th year succesfully pass the national exam BEPC and will be continuing in 5th year (BEP Agricole). The 3 students in 5th year will go to 6th year which is a class exam BEP Agricole. One of the student finished first of his class.

In Burkina there are around 30.000 refugees, but also over 1.000.000 displaced people. In addition due the lost of lifes in the fighting, there are quiet a lot of orphans.

Normally thanks to the social structure in Africa, families will support the widow and her children. This is less and less the case and there is very little support from the army.

We would like to offer 4 scholaships for orphans this year. 

Can you help us?

We have seen that children in hardship situation can succeed if in the right environment.

Thank you.

We had the pleasure to receive the local director of UNHCR at the LAP. It was is first visit and he was impressed by the quality of the environment proposed to the students.

We have only 5 students from refugees families. They are doing quiet well and are well integrated within the other students.

The LAP did not get any new refugee students since 3 years. The difficulty is the availability of funding. Today the 5 students are sponsored by the organsiation CREDO and from donations on GlobalGiving.

The funding cuts from the US are not helping to get new students at the LAP from refugees families.

In Burkina Faso there are over 1.200.000 of displaced people and 30.000 refugees. The displaced people have the priority for support.

We need your help to be able to accept additional students from refugees family.

Thank you.
