This is Bissiri
Kombissiri, Burkina Faso
A village in a place where
nothing is supposed to grow
With limited access to clean
water and a staggering
child mortality rate
Without a centralized
healthcare or education
Contre toute attente,
avec votre soutien
Bissiri est devenu un phare
d’espoir pour le Burkina Faso.

A village in a place where

and a staggering child mortality rate
Without a centralized

Despite all odds,
in just a few decades
Bissiri has become a beacon
of hope for Burkina Faso.
