You can transform lives
Rakiéta Ouédraogo was one of the first orphans taken to the ACTS Hope Center when the orphanage opened in 2005.
She is now a student at the ACTS secondary school, College Ezra. Rakiéta wrote a letter to ACTS Executive Director Joanna Ilboudo:
“Dear Mom, I am writing this note to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity that has been given to me to study.
I am privileged to have a place to sleep and food to eat. You have helped me in a meaningful ways.
In return, I promise to do all I can to succeed in my studies.
“Thank you very much for all you are doing for us. May the Lord give you long life as you continue work for ACTS.”
There are many more students, like Rakiéta, who desire to attend College Ezra, but are unable to do so. Even the affordable fees at College Ezra are too much for rural families.
To enable young people to attend secondary school, ACTS is looking for 20 donors who would like to give monthly gifts of $100 towards the cost of school for older students.
Your commitment would make school possible for a student eager to attend. There is no other secondary school in the district for village children. In Burkina Faso school is not compulsory, but the students who attend College Ezra have a desire to study and excel in academics.
With you help, children, once malnourished, are getting stronger physically and mentally.

ACTS Center in Saonré is dedicated to giving a hand up and not a handout to the forgotten ones of Burkina Faso...widows and orphans.
