In 2010, local community leaders set up the Zeine Collective project in the market town of Gorom- Gorom, the capital of the Oudalan Province in northern Burkina Faso. In this drought-stricken region, the Ziene Collective project successfully drilled and constructed several water wells, providing safe drinking supplies for the local communities. These actions enabled the farmers and their livestock to benefit and thrive despite the challenging climate conditions. In addition, the Collective also set up the Alpha project, which runs adult literacy and numeracy classes in Gorom-Gorom and in the nearby village of Tin-Akoff. The Foundation supported these projects between 2012-2015. In 2018, the Foundation’s support helped to drill 5 wells, renovate 6 others and to endorse 250 families with livestock, while helping 26 pupils from remote areas to be placed in foster families for their school studies. - 40 -
