BURKINA FASO COUNTRY ENDOWMENT
Established in 2002 with funds raised by the Burkina Faso country staff and matched by Heifer Foundation.
Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the world, so gifts to this country accomplish much indeed. In just three short years, working with a local partner organization, Heifer has transformed the lives of more than 400 families by distributing more than 1,000 animals; 3,500 trees; four oil presses; and five grain mills. A particular focus in this country is reforestation, and villagers are learning innovative environmental skills. Another project has brought livestock production training and animals to several schools. The schools can now generate income, thereby reducing their fees and increasing enrollment. Children are rewarded with animals and can use their new knowledge for livestock projects at home.
Help keep hope alive in Burkina Faso; give today.
