Women to the World in Burkina Faso

Throughout Africa, Women to the World's goal is helping struggling women and their families overcome the devastating effects and emotional bondage of societal neglect, abuse and oppression by providing the education that leads to dignified and sustainable employment and self-sufficiency.

Focusing on these objectives, our excellent staff of volunteer specialists in Ouagadougou developed curricula offering language development, business economics, and training in basic hygiene, health care, and emergency first aid. Our business economics programs includes micro-business management and leadership training.

We have recently developed customized computer training courses that focus on helping girls and women compete favorably in today's high tech job market. This is the cornerstone of our employment services program.  Obtaining real and measurable improvements in the lives of the women we serve, as they begin to realize their full potential and appropriate stature in society, is the central mission of Women to the World .  Click here for more information: www.centrefasotechnique.com .

Breaking News:

Women to the World's President, Doris Aldrich, recently returned from a month-long visit to Burkina Faso. Here,  Women to the World's Curriculum Learning Program was introduced, and formed a new alliance with a very special school, the Lycee Academy, providing educational services to women living in the most unreached and primitive areas on earth. Once these women are empowered by even the most rudimentary communication, math, and social skills, they are able to exponentially improve their  lives.

It is miraculous that such opportunities are before us in 2008. Our supporters are now able to provide vital partnerships improving the quality of life that exists in this part of the world. There is perhaps no greater calling in life than to be able to provide the skills and education to help these women and their children learn, work, prosper and thrive.
