Map of Burkina Faso

Almost 14 million people live in Burkina Faso, and more than half the Burkinabe are under the age of 18. Sadly, each year more than 115,000 children in this region die before reaching their fifth birthday, largely from preventable diseases. Compassion's first West African offices are located in Burkina Faso, and the number of projects there continues to grow.
