Volunteering in Burkina Faso
The French-speaking west African land of Burkina Faso is one of the poorest and least-developed countries in the world. The population depends on agriculture, though periods of drought turn the country into a landscape of dry savannahs.
Yet Burkina Faso is still known for the “don’t-worry-be-happy” mentality of its people. With very limited resources, the Burkinabès have managed to establish a culturally-diverse country, where many different races live together in peace.
This programme is currently not available for 2011, but please feel free to check out some of our other programmes in Africa, such as volunteering in Ghana.
