Water to Empower Female Farmers in Burkina Faso

Because of your support, FarmSahel has officially handed over agricultural resources worth five million XOF (10,000 USD) to women in Bindé, a rural village in Burkina Faso.

The official ceremony took place on Friday,  July 9th 2021 in Kaïbo-Centre, a village in the municipality of Bindé.

One ton of Organic Cowpea, 438 bottles of sprayers, 438 organic pesticide, with a total value of 5 million XOF were donated to 438 women. This donation aims to strengthen the resilience of households and communities in terms of food and nutrition security, which once again enforces FarmSahel’s mission statement and core values. 

Your donation not only allows the women of the municipality to be financially independent but also allows students of the municipality to consume healthy food. This is through the local government, which has agreed to buy the foods produced and supply it to students for school lunch. 

Through this donation, both women and their children will reap the benefits of agricultural resources and feel the safety of nutrition security. 

For the womens’ representative, this donation is especially timely because it will allow women to take care of their children while paying for their education and seeking better, stable healthcare. She added: "Now that we are in charge of providing food for school lunch, we know what is being fed to our kids in school and that is organic food".

Our recurring donors are making a continuous impact and we are truly grateful for the ongoing
support. If you are not yet a recurring donor, we warmly invite you to consider setting up a
recurring donation. $24 a month goes a long way.

Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing
project.
