Education is a key piece of how WITLI hopes to bring lasting change to the nation of Burkina Faso. Through education, the children of R will be granted innumerable opportunities which would otherwise have been impossible for them. We hope to invest in generations of students who will then use the knowledge and experience they’ve gained to contribute back to their country for years to come. Your donation will help to complete the construction of the high school school in R.
Help us meet the ministry need for our 49 Burkina Employees
Your donation towards a Pay It Forward loan becomes a donation that keeps on giving. A woman in Burkina Faso receives a 0% interest loan, beginning her journey of owning her own business. Once she pays back her loan, it rolls over to another woman to start another business! Stay connected with her through letters and email and cheerlead her along the way. Each of these women have a story just like you. Become a piece of her life story and share in the journey together.
At WITLI we believe that education is the KEY component to both a child’s well-being and seals their future. Burkina Faso is one of the least educated countries in the world, with a literacy rate of less than 22%. Without enough schools, the cycle of poverty continues. We believe that we can change this. Our goal is to see an elementary, junior high & high school in each of the 45 provinces in Burkina Faso.
To reopen our schools after the pandemic is estimated total cost $4500 (masks & soap) as well as $1000 for helping the refugees during this pandemic.
