World Vision Burkina Faso

World Vision began working in Burkina Faso in 2021 to help with the increasing needs caused by the ongoing crisis. We help children and their communities through integrated, multi-sectoral programs. We focus on improving child protection, WASH, health, nutrition, and livelihoods. World Vision do this through evidence-based interventions and by strengthening the social protection system.

World Vision assists individuals in need, regardless of their religious beliefs, race, ethnicity, or gender. We offer support to alleviate suffering and promote resilience. In addition, we are helping people affected by conflict and humanitarian crises, and our aim is to reach over 420,000 people, with 59% being children under 18.

World Vision works in Burkina Faso using a mix of direct and partnering operations. We work with trusted partners who are already helping the affected communities and have a good record of accomplishment. Our commitment is to reinforce – not replace – national and local systems as part of the partnership-building process.

We aim to assist our partners, including local governments and community organizations, by offering support in different areas. These areas include technology, organization, finances, and logistics.

We aim to ensure that we care for, protect, educate, and make all children feel loved. Our strategy is a promise to build brighter futures for vulnerable children in Burkina Faso.
