Burkina Faso – Commitment to children
in 2014 12 % of children under five years of age were malnourished in Burkina Faso. Over half of all child deaths at this age were the result of malnutrition. The reasons: too little grain, lack of drinking water and poor health care.
Help is currently committed to helping 35,194 households. They include 4,370 malnourished children and 3,850 pregnant women.
- We are supporting people in cultivating their fields.
- Help is supplying them with seeds,
- building water catchment basins,
- training farmers in effective cultivation techniques,
- and establishing compost facilities for fertiliser.
In addition to the projects to ensure food supplies, Help is also involved in the field of health in Burkina Faso.
