students of 5th year
There are still 5 students from refugees families at the LAP. One in 5th year and Four in 6th year.
They all have good grades. In the 6th year the top students are 2 from refugees families.
The 6th year students will pass the exam called BEP Agricole. This exam will be early June. Last year only one student did not pass it. We hope for a 100% success this year.
The agriculture study program is rather heavy with many subjects. Each year there is a discussion to modernise and stream line the program. It is a very long and administrative process.
When asked, most of the students want to further their studies after the LAP. We also realise that it will be difficult for them to start their own activity. Even so they are between 21 and 23 years old when they finish their secondary studies, they are not yet mature for entrepreneurship. Also access to credit for young people without guaranty is very limited.
Thank you for your support.

Difficulties to fund new scholarships for refugees

As mentionned in previous reports, funding for refugees in Burkina has decreased drastically. First the stop of the funding from the US and the priority in Burkina towards the internally displaced persons (IDP): around 40.000 refugees versus over 1.000.000 IDP.
We have 5 refugees at the LAP. They are doing well and it is a pity that we cannot welcome more of them. They were recruted via the local UNHCR and are funded by the NGO CREDO and from your donations.
This year we have also been able to sponsor 3 orphan children from the Police personnel. One girl enroll in the 5th year and 2 boys in the first year.
All the other students at the LAP are coming from poor farmers families. The fact to be able to offer all those children a quality education is very rewarding.
We hope that with your support and the one from new donors we will be able to accept more of the refugees children.
Thank you.

Raising flag at the LAP
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.
