Support laboratory Analyses in Burkina Faso
Background
Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in Africa, ranks 182 out of 189 countries in the human development index. Additionally, it ranks below average compared to countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Action10 is now aiming to raise funds to provide lab equipment to the laboratories in Burkina Faso that currently experience a lack of resources. This will enable the laboratory to bring the research, on water quality among other things, forward and improve the standard of living.
Project updates
Reporting after summer break!
Last project report (June 2024) reflected the strength of cooperation within HR&S network through the project similarity and mutual experience and knowledge sharing as well as inspiration sharing. After the summer break a regular monthly based meetings with HR&S management, Action10 volunteers and all HR&S Branches are back on the track again.
At this stage, together we are working on the socio-economic development with aiming to provide social good but also opportunity for income for the branches in order to achieve the financial viability. All HR&S Branches are officially registered as companies which eventually allows HR&S even employ and have a larger and long-term impact.
Remember that Burkina Faso suffered from severe instability in politics in 2023, which hampered initiative and business across the board. Moreover, the current laboratory situation is extremely difficult due to the unstable security conditions in Burkina Faso and the inherent risk associated with sample collection from the gold mining region.
Thank you!
