JUSTIFICATION
Burkina Faso has two serious problems to solve, on the one hand, one of the highest percentages of illiteracy in the world, especially that of women, which is around 72%. On the other hand, the high percentage of children in a situation of social exclusion or vulnerability that the child slave mafias that operate in the country take advantage of. These problems hinder the social development of Burkina mortgaging the country’s future and perpetuating poverty. For this reason, we believe it is essential to organize civil society by creating a network with collective resources and take advantage of synergies to promote the complete development of the population.
