Why Burkina Faso?

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL reported in 2019 that 52% of the women in Burkina Faso ages 20-24 were married before age 18. With the 7th highest child marriage rate in the world, less than half of the girls in Burkina Faso complete a basic education.

Why focus on girls?
At least 40% of the population faces poverty. Due to limited resources like running water and feminine products, some girls won’t attend school because of period shaming. Girls also don’t receive enough menstural education.
