What we work on
Two interlocking causes: education for displaced and disadvantaged children, and real alternatives to violent extremism for at-risk youth.
Education for displaced children
Burkina Faso has more than 2 million internally displaced people. Children pay the highest price: schools shut, families flee, and entire cohorts lose their right to learn.
Our sponsorship program covers school fees, meals, uniforms, and supplies for 120 primary and secondary students across the Eastern Region — for three years per child. We work with local schools, not around them.

Deradicalization through vocation
When schools shut and economies collapse, armed groups recruit. Our EXIT 10 program offers ten at-risk young people a different path: vocational training in agriculture, sewing, masonry, and mechanics, paired with community awareness on the dangers of radicalization.
It is not enough to warn young people away from extremism. We have to show them what else is possible — and put the tools in their hands to build it.
Support EXIT 10A school year costs €120.
That is fees, uniforms, books, and a hot meal every school day for one child for one year. Whatever amount you give, 99% of it reaches the field.
