Help 20 refugee children study for their future

Most of the 30.000 refugees in Burkina are coming from Mali. 

The security situation has displaced over 2.000.000 Burkinabés. Even so some villagers are going back home, many are still refugees in their own country.

Two of our 12 villages were affected by terrorism. The parents of the students at the LAP from those villages could not afford to pay their school fees. This will be also the case for this new school year which has just started.

Villagers of those 2 villages were able to go home before the rainy season and things should get back to normal for the coming years.

Displaced children are often not going to school at all. This is not good for the future of Burkina. 

We need your support in order to take more of those children at our school.

Thank you.

At the end of the 4th year of secondary all students have to pass an exam called BEPC. You need to have passed this exam if you want to keep on studying.

5 of the refugees students were in the 4th year. The exam BEPC was at the beginningf of June, four out of five manage to get it (80%) a very good success rate when the class success rate was 61% and the national average is around 35%.

The student who did not get the BEPC was the only girl we had from refugees families. The 4 boys who have succeeded will most likely keep on studying at the LAP for an additional 4 years.

This will depend if we find enough funds to keep them at the LAP. Costs for one student for this new cycle is 830 US$ for one year.

We would like to have more refugees children at the LAP for this we need your help.

Make sure that you are communication this project to your friends and family.
