BOURA CHILDREN'S CENTER
Boura Children's Center is located in the small village of Boura, Burkina Faso in West Africa. It is a safe place for children that are in distressed situations due to poor income, sickness, or most commonly, death of the mother.
Boura Children's Center provides these children with basic needs such as food, clothing, water, and shelter. Medical care is also provided by the Bridges of Hope Clinic located nearby.
Microloans
Microloans are small loans given to individuals and groups to start and grow a business. These loans provide hope to hungry and vulnerable people. Most microloans are provided to women in a co-operative and can free families from poverty in one to two generations.
Build a Health Clinic
A trip to the clinic in the Western world is easily accessible. However, for many people in developing countries, the nearest clinic may be 100 miles away.
Your gift will help Bridges of Hope to provide and/or renovate clinics in as many communities as possible.
Build a School
Can you imagine attending school under a tree? Many children in impoverished communities around the world do exactly that. Without adequate shelter and educational supplies many children stop attending school altogether.
Your gift to construct a school and/or renovate existing schools offers a safe, productive learning environment that can make the difference in the lives of the children and their communities.
Deep Well
Did you know that if the average distance to the moon is 394,400 km, African women together walk the equivalent of a trip to the moon and back 16 times a day to supply their households with water?
The saddest part of this is the water they bring back is usually contaminated and carries with it all kinds of disease.
With a well in the community, not only is the drinking water much safer, the physical demand on women is lessened immensely and they can spend more time on income generating activities.
Farm animals
Imagine the impact 11 farm animals could have to sustain families in a community. Not only would they have food available for themselves, but they would also have a valuable commodity for trade.
Home for a Mother and her Children
Imagine you are homeless in a developing country with no resources in sight. With your generous gift, a home is provided to give a mother and her children the peace, safety and security they so desperately need.
Home for Orphaned Children
Where do you go when you have no one who cares? Whether it is due to abandonment, sickness or death many precious little ones are left standing alone.
Will you be the one who stands with a child?
