Fund for Health costs for members of Tigoung Nonma
  1. Introduction

During this period, TN has not yet received a disbursement for this project. This means that for the moment TN cannot carry out any of its planned activities. Tigoung Nonma organised a meeting with its members as part of the project. 

  1. Activities 

TN has, during this time, organised this one following activity:

A discussion group with its members in order to identify the health problems that its members are facing, to give advice and to assist them in applying for and accessing disability cards.

Having one of these cards will allow members to benefit from reductions to health related costs within the public system in Burkina Faso; they also offer other benefits in other areas such as:

Education, transport, professional training, sport, leisure, art, political participation and  social action. 

Of the members present at the meeting, 13 female members and 4 male members have health issues which need addressing:
