Faso Deme Bagaou Charity
FASO DEME BAGAOU CHARITY PROJECT FROM BURKINA FASO TO THE WORLD
Mission Statement and Charity Background:
This charity operates at Bolomakote School, located in the Bolomakote district of Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. The school currently educates 321 students, both boys and girls, across six classes from CP1 to CM2.
Founded in August 1945, Bolomakote School will celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2025, marking eight decades of service to the community.
Despite its long-standing contribution to education, the school faces significant challenges, particularly regarding student nutrition. Many children arrive at school without having eaten breakfast, which affects their concentration, energy levels, and capacity to learn.
Consequently, this charity came out of the earth thanks to my own desire to maintain and build on my previous actions and continue on providing food to school children
Faso Deme Bagaou's Objectives:
Achievable through small goals
2. Project Overview
The charity’s first initiative is the implementation of a Morning Nutrition Program that will provide a healthy meal to every student at the start of the school day.
Meals will be served at 8:00 a.m., with distribution organised class-by-class to avoid overcrowding and maintain order.
The program will run five days per week, from Monday to Friday, ensuring consistent nutritional support for all students.

What work needs to be done!
Food Spaces:
Fasi Deme Bagaou's primary quest is to provide food five days a week to students at the Balamakote school.
Nonetheless,
The room available on the school's land can be a great opportunity for renovation to offer students a refectory.
Garden Spaces:
With more than 300 square meters of available land, the school possesses a significant and underused resource. Faso Deme Bagaou seeks to rehabilitate and enrich this land, transforming it into a highly productive garden capable of supporting the school’s nutritional needs. By cultivating its own vegetables, the school will substantially reduce its reliance on external food suppliers, strengthen its food security, and promote long-term sustainability. Once fully established, this fertile garden will enable the school to consistently provide fresh, home-grown produce for its students.
Toilet Facilities:
The school is equipped with basic restroom structures intended for student use. However, these facilities have deteriorated significantly and no longer meet acceptable standards of safety, hygiene, or functionality. Their current condition renders them unsuitable for daily use and exposes children to serious health and safety risks. Immediate rehabilitation is therefore essential to ensure a clean, secure, and dignified environment for all students.
Rehearsal Room:
This room will be designed as an engaging, hands-on space for students to explore the performing arts. The environment will feature vibrant, colourful wall decorations—including theatrical masks that symbolise drama, acting, and comedy—creating an atmosphere that sparks creativity and expression.
The room will function as a fully equipped creative arts classroom, with traditional African musical instruments neatly stored on shelves for easy access. Open floor areas will provide ample space for movement, making it ideal for dance, performance activities, and collaborative artistic exploration.
Overall, this space will serve as an inspiring hub where students can immerse themselves in dance, comedy, and music, with a special emphasis on the richness of African cultural traditions.
Library:
The charity aims to establish a modern facility that provides children with access to technology, like computers, on one side, while also offering traditional resources such as books and manuals on the other side.
Sport activities:
Faso Deme Bagaou aims to support children's school education as much as their physical education, which is a crucial part of their school journey.
The major sport already played in Africa and in Bolomakote school is Football.
Living Spaces / Shelters:
Faso Deme Bagaou seeks to renovate rooms available on the school's land into adequate houses and living spaces to accommodate its volunteers who travel directly to the field to support its activities.
Establishing proper facilities will ensure a safe, comfortable, and functional environment for volunteers, enabling them to work effectively and sustain their commitment to the charity’s mission.
