Who we are
A non-profit working alongside communities — not for them.
TIEN'HAMMA e.V. is a Nuremberg-based non-profit committed to the children of Burkina Faso's Eastern Region. We sponsor schooling for displaced and disadvantaged children, and partner with at-risk youth to offer real alternatives to violent extremism.
"We believe that education is the key to unlocking a world of opportunities." Larba Nadieba Co-Founder & Chairperson
Our mission is to empower and transform the lives of children in Burkina Faso by ensuring they have equal access to quality education — regardless of their background or circumstances.
For the 2024–2025 school year, we cover school fees and meals for 120 socially disadvantaged and internally displaced primary and secondary children — for the next three years. Our EXIT 10 program works with 10 at-risk youth to offer training in agriculture, sewing, masonry, and mechanics: a path away from radicalization, into productive lives.

Our values
What we stand for.
Four principles guide every decision we make — from which child we sponsor to which partner we work with.
⚖
Equality
Equal access to quality education. We work to eliminate the systemic barriers that exclude girls, displaced children, and the rural poor.
✦
Empowerment
Transforming lives through education and vocational skills — equipping youth with the tools to shape their own future.
⌘
Collaboration
Real change is built with — not for — communities. We partner with local schools, mayors, donors, and NGOs.
↑
Resilience
Burkina Faso's Eastern Region faces extreme adversity. Our work centers the strength of the people who already live there.

Partnerships are the cornerstone of our impact. If your organization shares our vision, together we can amplify efforts and reach more children — through financial support, shared resources, or joint initiatives.
