About the Cause

Posted by BF0613 in Burkina Faso on 06/22/2025

This project aims to empower vulnerable families in our community through the processing and marketing of non-timber forest products (such as soumbala, natural juice, and shea butter). By training households in processing and marketing techniques, we are creating stable income-generating activities while promoting local natural resources. This will strengthen economic autonomy, reduce poverty, and ensure food security for hundreds of families.

How the church will sustain the cause

Our church has always been committed to supporting vulnerable families in a sustainable manner. For the past two years, we have supported around ten women each season by offering them practical training in local processing. Thanks to the fruits of this initiative, some women have already been able to launch small businesses. Given this positive impact, we plan to extend our support further to many beneficiaries. We have identified local artisans and technicians capable of ensuring the maintenance of equipment (dryers, mixers, processing units, etc.) at a low cost, which guarantees business continuity even in the event of a breakdown. Finally, beneficiaries will gradually be empowered through a community operating contribution, to ensure partial self-financing of the project. These strategies will allow us to maintain the project's impact without relying on long-term external funding.
