On the 4th of April, will leave for Burkina Faso, 6 members of Sendero de Totana club, which together with another member of the Sports Association of Puerto Lumbreras, tour some corners of the African country situated north of the Gulf of Guinea and take funds 3 to cover part of development cooperation projects.
The situation in this impoverished African country is evident in the United Nations report issued annually which appears as one of the 10 poorest countries.
Given that the status of 6 of these countries is caused by armed clashes occurring now and that's not the case of Burkina, one can say that 4 is one of the poorest countries on Earth.
The numbers are truly frightening, a per capita income of less than $ 800, a poverty rate of 60%, only 45% of the population has access to drinking water, one doctor for every 25,000 inhabitants, a rate of illiteracy in women exceeds 92%, and endless data on paper is reflected very cold but actually hides a dramatic social and human suffering.
What best illustrates this unfortunate situation is to know that 11 of every 100 babies are buried before the age of 5 years and is a country that has no guaranteed food security, which means that in times of flood, drought or crop can sometimes people die of starvation.
From the club totana hiker and sports association in Puerto Lumbreras, has launched a fundraising campaign to take in hand this April.
From these two associations ensures that 100% of the proceeds will go entirely to the following projects: - A portion will go to JED BURKINA NGOs in order to ensure prevention of AIDS in the region of Bobo, especially in a country ravaged by this disease and where patients have no chance of being treated if infected.
These actions are very effective for the prevention of the disease.
- Also was endowed with sports equipment and money to the Brothers of Lassalle, for a school of 800 students who are in ouadadougou, capital of the country.
- Finally we will visit a Catholic mission of white parents in the region of Kaya, which are seeking funds for the construction of a water well and construction of housing for teachers in a school with a mission in the Village of Barsalgo.
The way to help is by making cash income on account of Cajamar N ยบ 3058 0306 24 2810036414, throwing money in the piggy banks that can be found in certain shops in the center or by contacting directly to any member of the club hiker totana or sports association Lumbreras port.
Finally on Friday, March 27, beginning at 10 pm, will be developed in the pub, The Rock Cafe a pop concert to benefit The Juke Box of the cause.
