Burkina Faso is a little known, French-speaking country in West Africa next door to Niger. Almost half of the population lives below the poverty line. With the help of friends like you, Feed The Hungry is expanding our Every Child Every Day program into this poor country.

For the first time, we are feeding 600 children daily meals, and our local partners say the help could not have come at a better time. “Right now we are in a famine,” says Reverend Joseph Koomson, our ministry partner in Burkina Faso. “We do not have enough food!”

Because of drought conditions, the government has declared a disaster in the region — with 1.7 million people at risk of malnutrition. But your faithful gifts will help feed hungry children in two different orphanages and a school for blind children in Burkina Faso.

Koomson says every meal will provide much-needed nutrition and share God’s love. “Food is just for the temporal, but the Word of God, the love of God is eternal,” he says.

Food for the blind children is especially critical. “When you have a blind child, most of the families don’t see any value. They cannot work,” Koomson says. “So they marginalize the blind child. They don’t care about them. It makes you want to cry.”

Koomson said the new partnership with Feed The Hungry’s Every Child Every Day will make a life-saving difference for children in one of the poorest nations of the world. “We see the future for the nation, full of the children that we are reaching,” he says. “There is hope.”

Thank you for helping Feed The Hungry expand our efforts into this needy country. Your continued prayers and support will let hundreds of children know God loves them.

Your most generous gift today will make an immediate and eternal difference in the lives of the children in Burkina Faso.
