Burkina Faso's partner town of Zogorè pays a visit to Mayor Christian Pakusch
In a bid to rejuvenate educational opportunities and promote sustainable food sources, Salia Kirakoya has proposed an innovative project for Willich's partner town, Zogoré, in Burkina Faso. The project aims to reopen schools currently occupied by internally displaced people and establish community gardens to supply school canteens with vegetables and fruits.
The project has garnered support from the local community, with discussions taking place on the Gripshof. Kirakoya plans to consult with the committee in Zogoré about the project proposal, as previously mentioned. The main goal is to reopen the schools, and preparations are underway to make this a reality.
Accommodations need to be built for the current residents of the schools, but further details on this aspect were not provided. Mayor Christian Pakusch has expressed his willingness to support the partner town in its challenging situation. Kirakoya recently visited Mayor Pakusch from Burkina Faso, accompanied by Dr. Christoph Carlhoff, to discuss the urgent need to resume school operations in the Zogoré department.
Kirakoya, who has coordinated projects for the "Help for Yatenga" association in Burkina Faso in the past, has developed this new project specifically for Willich's partner town. The project also includes tasks such as reopening schools, building accommodations, and establishing gardens.
The security situation in Kirakoya's region has made it difficult to manage projects, including schools, gardens, and wells. However, the resilience of the community and the support from partners like Willich promise a brighter future for Zogoré.
