The Elementary Schools

Only 30% of the people of Burkina Faso can read because the government is too poor to provide schools and teachers for all the children. That is why providing education for the children is an important part of our ministry. Burkina Faso follows the educational pattern of France and begins the education of the children with six years of what is called primary school. From the very beginning the children who speak only their African languages at home must learn to read and write in French, as all education in Burkina Faso is in French.

Our ministry has four primary schools at this time with over 1,448 students who are receiving a very high level of education.

We now have an educational sponsorship program.
