LES AMIS – BURKINA FASO Registered Charity 1120772

ANNUAL SUMMING UP FOR THE PERIOD: 1[ST] SEPTEMBER 2022 – 31[ST] AUGUST 2023

Les Amis – Burkina Faso was registered on 5[th] September 2007

2) Talks and presentations

Gillie was due to give a talk in the parish of Cranleigh & Bramley, but cancelled it due to the serious illness of her daughter-in-law.

For the fifth year running, there was no trip due to terrorist activity.

4) Our Regular Projects

This year the responsibility for running the Yoann Foundation was given to Brother Harry, along with Pélagie. The fund currently assists 20 handicapped children and 19 vulnerable women. We support the mothers of handicapped children by giving them 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. 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 to Yoann Foundation 11,125

b) Diocese of Koupéla: protecting and educating girls

We continue 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, soapmaking, raising of livestock and growing vegetables being some of their past/current activities).

We continue to fund St Monique Home for secondary school-aged girls, all of whom are orphaned of either one or both parents.

We continue to include OCADES in our giving. OCADES is an organisation which works to give training to disadvantaged girls and women.

c) Priest of the Fada Diocese

We continue to give funds for the purpose of being able to help, in a direct and practical way, the many individuals who approach us for assistance. This method of reaching out to the destitute is extremely valuable to Les Amis.

Give away and projects 8,200

We continue to give funds for the purpose helping not only various individuals, but 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.
