Context
: In the heart of
Burkina-Faso, in the province of
Oubritenga, a region of Guié,
8 villages have decided, since 1989,
to take on their own development
in order to fight by all means against
the desertification. They have created
the association Zoramb Naagtaabaa
directed by a Frenchman, Henri Girard,
whom in the last twenty years, has
lead, side by side with this population,
agricultural, educational and health
programs. In 1991, 89 % of the population
was illiterate. The association
is developping the education of
the children by supporting the public
schools (creation of 6 schools),
by organizing adults' training sessions,
setting school sponsoring, alphabetization
lessons and creation of libraries.
Since 2002, Mission Enfance has
carried out educational training
back up to the teachers, computer
courses to the AZN staff members,
has rehabilitaed the school of Lindi,
constructed the school and teacher's
loging in Kuila (loging financed
by the Bureau des Relations Extérieures
of Monaco), and the wells without
which these schools could not exist.
Mission Enfance sends every year
containers, takes part in the functionning
of the AZN and sends teachers to
train and reinforce the school level
of the children sponsored by the
association. In 2008, Mission Enfance
is finishing its agricultural programme
by the creation of new perimeters
in Cissé Yargo and the extension
of the agricultural methods in Filly,
another region of Ouahigouya.
