Burkina Faso
Situated in West Africa, Burkina Faso is home to over 20 million Burkinabés.
The Need
48% of primary school-aged children are out of school
It’s estimated 72% of young adults have not completed primary schooling. About 1% have achieved a post-secondary degree.
Burkina Faso ranks in the lowest percentiles for literacy compared to other low- to middle-income countries.
Continued armed conflict and displacement exhaust the education system and others like healthcare and food security.
