- a) **The Yoann Foundation for disabled women and children**
The fund currently assists 22 handicapped children and 18 vulnerable women. The support the mothers of handicapped children receive is money which goes towards helping the women to meet food, housing, medical and physiotherapy costs, school fees and also materials with which to make things to sell (primarily soap). It remains an important aspect of this Foundation that the women and children get together socially regularly throughout the year. They continue to be given a meal every two months. The vulnerable older women are given food.
Total sent this year
Yoann Foundation **11,760**
- b) **Diocese of Koupéla: protecting and educating girls**
We have continued to finance a **refuge in Baskouré** which houses young girls who have run away from a forced young marriage. Our giving covers food, electricity, housing, clothes, healthcare costs and training the girls in a trade (making clothes, embroidery, brewing the local beer, weaving, soap-making, raising of livestock and growing vegetables). This year, they made an urgent appeal to help them secure a water source. We sent them the necessary £5,800 which funded the drilling and fitting of a solar powered pump.
We have continued to fund 20 girls through **primary school** and 10 girls through secondary school (these are looked after by **St Monique Home** ). All secondary school girls are orphaned of either one or both parents. We have also continued to give donations to the **Gounghin Nursery School** . We have continued to include **OCADES** in our giving. OCADES is an organisation which works to give training to disadvantaged girls and women.
Giving to the Diocese of Koupéla this year:

## c) **Priest of the RC Diocese of Fada N’Gourma**
We continue to give funds to this priest for the purpose of his being able to help, in a direct and practical way, the many individuals who approach him for assistance. This method of reaching out to the destitute is extremely valuable to Les Amis.

## d) **Priest of the RC Diocese of Kaya**
We have been happy to give this priest money to help not only various individuals, schools and also a group of women to access training in specific skills: cooking, hairdressing, sewing, embroidery and handicraft. At the end of their training each one receives support to set them up in business.
