WHERE
WE
WORK
We foster quality child development
In Burkina Faso, we work with experts inside and outside our organization to support early childhood, a critical time of development. We’re changing mindsets, working with the government to deliver comprehensive, holistic curriculum to classrooms and child-friendly spaces in camps for the internally displaced. We’re helping kids find care, enrol in school and boosting their access to quality early education.
