DescFriends of Burkina Faso's objective for this program service is to support as many postsecondary education/training scholarships as we have donations for each year for academically qualified young women from poor rural families to attend local universities or nursing, midwifery or primary school teacher training. Scholarships are provided through Global NEEED Burkina, a non-profit organization registered by the Government of Burkina Faso. Selection of scholarship recipients is made by Global NEEED Burkina in collaboration with the Government Department of Education. In the 11 years we have supported this program, all but four of the 216 scholarship recipients have successfully completed their training (or for those currently in training are successful in their current studies). In each of the four cases of non-completion, Global NEEED Burkina immediately worked with the educational/training institution to transfer any remaining funds to another financially needy young female student. Through Global NEEED Burkina, Friends of Burkina Faso receives from the education institutions the final year end grades for all of our scholarship recipients. In 2020, Friends of Burkina Faso donations supported the 2020-2021 school costs of 47 young women, including 10 university students, 18 midwifery students and 19 primary school teacher trainees. Scholarship funds are wired to Global NEEED Burkina on a yearly basis.Desc

DescThe objective of the program service was to provide very basic food assistance to internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Burkina Faso as a result of sharply increased terrorist attacks in villages in northern and eastern Burkina Faso in early 2020 until the government of Burkina Faso and international aid organizations would be able to respond to this rapidly developing crisis. In March 2020, through Friends of Burkina Faso's network of returned Peace Corps volunteers and friends of Burkina Faso, local communities were identified that had no resources available to respond to rapidly growing populations of IDPs arriving in their communities. Friends of Burkina Faso requested and received requests for proposals from known entities from these communities. All proposals were vetted by the Friends of Burkina Faso Board of Directors and were judged in terms of the relevance and justification of the proposals and costs. The requests were for basic food supplies (largely rice and oil), buckets, and woven mats. The five organizations that were funded were required to submit to Friends of Burkina Faso receipts for all purchases made, photos of the distribution of items purchased for the IDPs, and a final report of activities. As a result of this funding, approximately 3,950 IDPs received basic food supplies for a period of 3-5 months.Desc

DescThe objective of Friends of Burkina Faso financial support for the Association Appui aux Initiatives Pour la Valorisation Durable du Secteur 04 Manga is to help farmers in three comunes in south-central Burkina Faso to improve the productivity of their crops by introducing better farming techniques, seeds and fertilizers, and thus to be able to grow more food to sell and generate income and more food to store and thereby improve local food security. 2020 was our fourth year of funding this program. In the first three years, the program trained farmers in 900 households in 39 villages. A total of 6,300 people were impacted by the program. In plots treated with organic manure, yields increased by more than 50% for corn, soybean and cowpea while rice yields were up four-fold. In 2020, the project worked with farmers in an additional 15 villages. This is a local agricultural initiative begun and run by a retired government agricultural agent and colleague/counterpart of a former Peace Corps volunteer in that region of Burkina Faso.Desc

Sub-Saharan Africa$64,832 grant for scholarships for young village women from northern Burkina Faso to attend postsecondary education and training programs this school year at the university level and in nursing, midwifery and primary school teacher training. This funding supports 47 young women who began their postsecondary education and training in the years 2018, 2019 and 2020. Young women are selected by Global NEEED Burkina (a local NGO registered with the government of Burkina Faso) in collaboration with the government Department of Education. $4,168 grant to support school lunches this school year for 182 village girls attending secondary school and living far from the school.$69,000wire transfer through US-based banks$0
Sub-Saharan AfricaHumanitarian assistance in the form of rice, oil, local spice; and buckets and woven mats for refugees (internally displaced persons) fleeing jihadist violence in northern and eastern Burkina Faso. Grants were made to five local organizations known to Friends of Burkina Faso in towns to which refugees had fled and where neither the government of Burkina Faso nor international aid organizations had yet begun to provide food. Grantees submitted proposals to Friends of Burkina Faso. Proposals were evaluated on the basis of problem identification and proposed response, including the logic of proposed costs. Grantees were required to provide receipts for all purchases, photos of the distribution of items purchased and a final report.$60,975wire transfers through US-based banks$0
Sub-Saharan AfricaThe purpose of the funding is to support project activities aimed at improving crop management techniques through training and setting up on-farm demonstration plots. Training of farmers takes place across villages within three communes in central Burkina Faso, and focuses on the improvement of crop management to increase yields and production, and reduce poverty. The project team aims to train farmers in all villages within these three communes. With the 2020 funding, they will be able to reach 15 more villages this year. The head of the project is a retired government agriculture agent who was a counterpart to a former Peace Corps volunteer.$10,000wire transfer from US-based bank$0
Sub-Saharan AfricaThis grant supports the on-going construction of a village primary school in southeast Burkina Faso for Fulani students. The Fulani have not historically been well integrated into the educational system in Burkina Faso, partly by cultural bias and partly by their marginalized status. The community in which this school is being built is responsive to the education of their children and is providing in-kind support (local materials and some labor) in the construction of the school. When completed, the school will be integrated into the government education system. The government of Burkina Faso has been supportive of this endeavor, hoping that it will serve as an example to the wider Fulani community of the importance of the education of their children.$6,000wire transfer through US-based bank$0
