Dear Donors!
Thank You very much for your help to internal refugees in Burkina Faso. It is very important for us.
Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in Africa. In recent years, the country has been the target of terrorist attacks by jihadists affiliated with the Islamic State. They occupy 1/3 of the territory. About 2,600 schools have been closed as a result of attacks by Islamic fundamentalists. The fighting going on in neighboring countries has resulted in 1 million 700 thousand refugees currently residing in Burkina Faso.
They are in great need of help, food, accomodation and psychological and spiritual help. Very important is education for children to help them grow in dignity so as theu could shape their future. "We do not give because we have, but we give because we love," said Cardinal Philippe Ouedraogo, archbishop of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. So even if are not very rich, we can share just a liitle. For the poorest people in need it makes great difference.
Thank You so much for you support and for sharing our project with your friends!
