On March 15th, the government has decided to close all schools in Burkina Faso due to the COVID - 19.
We will reopen them for the month of June even if the government do not consider important to reopen them unril next year.
Our objective is to finish the program so that children attending our nursery schools are well prepared to go to primary schools in october 2020.
The head of the schools are paid during this time. We beleived that it was important to use this workforce. Four of them (all ladies) came back to the city (Bobo Dioulasso) during this period.
In Bobo Dioulasso we have also a sewing workshop which normally makes washable protection for mentruation. With the COVID - 19 pandemy, we started end of March the production of protective masks with cotton material.
The 4 nursery schools teachers had no problem to come help to produce protective masks. Their help allows us to produce 250 masks per day. Those teachers will then help distribute masks and soap to women in villages who come to their local medical center.
We hope that this will be a strong incentive for village women to come to the medical center. It will also create a strong bond between the nursery school directors and their communities.
