Overview

Mission

KAFO works to break the cycle of poverty in Konkourona. KAFO aims to bring hope and opportunities to the people living in Konkourona, Burkino Faso through access to education, healthcare, water and sanitation in our First Mile Community Development Program.

What it reported doing in 2024

Significant development activities have been completed in Konkourona since KAFO was founded in 2019. There is an increasing need for management of those activities, which span programs for education, healthcare, water and sanitation, economic development, and environmental protection. A headquarters building was constructed to serve as an office for the community and temporary housing for government officials and visitors, who come to inspect, and for teachers as new schools and more permanent housing for the teachers can be built. Construction of a middle school, technical school and high school are planned for the coming years. The headquarters building was opened in Sep-2022.
