We managed to get our agricultural starter kits to students in Burkina Faso just in time for them to sow seeds before the rainy season started, resulting in a great yield of crops for this year.
We haven't got any more funding for this project for future years, so please get in touch if you would like to help to fund this. Each kit costs £200 and pays for one more young person to be able to start their own farming business.

Carolle is being sponsored to attend nursing college for the next 3 years, thanks to a kind donation from supporters in the UK.
In the UK there is one nurse for every 120 people. In Burkina Faso there is one nurse for every 2,000 people.
The cost of training is £75 per month for 3 years ( or £60 per month plus Gift Aid ). If you're interested in helping to support young people like Carolle to become nurses then please get in touch.

This year 50 students completed the agricultural course at Bethel School. We are now helping 20 of these to set up their own businesses by giving them a starter kit of tools, seeds and organic fertilizer and pesticides.

We've funded our first dam!
In Burkina Faso, there is plenty of rain in the wet season, but the problem is having enough water for agriculture throughout the year. One simple solution is to build a dam to trap the water during the wet season, so it can then be used throughout the year.
The village of Mako now has a dam across the seasonal river Nakambe which will give them 10 Million Litres of water to last the year.
As part of our project funded by UK Aid, we've now introduced the project to the 3 villages involved - now it's time to drill wells and build toilets.
