In Burkina Faso the US was providing food to all the primary schools for at least a third of the school year. Corn was coming from the US and oil was bought locally.
With the closing of USAID this program has stopped. This is only one of the impact of the stop of USAID.
It is clear that USAID could have been managed much better with more funds reaching the needing people instead of being spent in the layers of the organisation. It is also clear that it is important for people to find ressources themselves if possible.
However an abrupt stop to aid is not the solution to poverty alliviation. Many people will suffer or dy due to the decision of closing USAID.
On our side we are not doing very good in gathering funds for the lunch program in primary schools. The school year is reaching its end and we have been able to provide food only to 2 villages and only for 3 months.
Do you want to help children in primary school to have a meal? Spead the word about this project to your network.
Thank you.
