Emergency response: floods

Plan is on the ground in flood-hit areas of Burkina Faso getting aid to thousands of families: over 105,000 people are estimated to have been caught up in the torrential rainfall, and 16 have died.

We have been distributing much-needed food, dry clothes, mosquito nets, sleeping mats, and providing immediate hygiene instruction to help affected communities ward off the looming threat of a water-based disease outbreak.

Plan has been working in Burkina Faso since 1976, helping poor children to access their rights to education, health, sanitation and protection.

Our programmes benefit 45,000 children in over 160 communities across the country.

Currently, we are focusing on developing the second phase of the BRIGHT (Burkinabe Response to Improve Girl’s chances to Succeed) project. The first phase saw the successful completion of 132 schools. The second phase of the project aims to develop 6 classroom schools in the Namentenga and Sanmatenga regions.
