Burkina Faso is among the five poorest countries in the world, the so called fourth world. It relies on farming for its livelihood, but ploughs and other tools are scarce. Water is available, but a school for the training of farmers is badly needed, to teach agricultural techniques, how to build, repair and use a plough, to manage the water resources and the potentials of the soil.It is to face these necessities that Centro Ghelawe was created, as the Italian arm of Centre Guélawé, the Burkinabè association which started the project. We are active in Italy in collecting the money for building the school and starting up its activities.

To do that we need your help...
