Les Amis de Burkina Faso

On 11th March 2019 we were lucky to be visited by Gillie Nicholls, founder of the charity Les Amis Burkina Faso. Les Amis is a charity which particularly supports women.  The lives of women in Africa can be extremely difficult, but particularly so for those who have given birth to a disabled child.  This can often lead to the woman and her disabled child being abandoned.

Our sustainable sanitary pack project provides reusable, washable sanitary packs to enable girls to continue their education when they have their period, instead of missing many days off school.  This will empower them through education to transform their lives. UK charity Classrooms in the Clouds (CITC)  works with its Nepalese partners to support education by: Building good quality, new classrooms Sponsoring teachers, supporting teacher training and encouraging the employment of female teachers Working in partnership with local Nepalese communities and international partners
