Burkina Faso
In Burkina Faso, the malnutrition and mortality rate among children and newborns is very high. We advocate for universal access to healthcare and an improved quality of care by using technologies to diminish child mortality. Additionally, we help children who are migrating or in conflict with the law by reinforcing services to protect them. The security crisis that struck Burkina Faso in 2018 has blocked access to basic services in the North. We back health and social protection systems to support affected families.
What we do
Mother and child health
Children and young people in migration
Access to justice
Humanitarian aid

"We have drastically reduced the number of incorrect diagnoses thanks to IeDA and the children benefit from better treatment."
