Our Achievements

On this page you will find a summary of our initiatives. Our ideas for helping others, which we first transformed into projects to finance and then realized thanks to the support of all our members.

Our spirit is: give the fishing rod, not the fish!

After many years of technical and environmental difficulties, we managed to start the Mill in Fada N'Gourma, a town in the southeast of the country without electricity, roads and infrastructure. The mill powered by an electric generator, the only one in the area, can grind feed for the farm, thus allowing better use of resources. We thank our members for their help and fundraising over the years.

The center is located inside the Mission next to a first aid medical center, which welcomes Italian and French doctors with ophthalmic specialization.
