About the Cause

Posted by BF0613 in Burkina Faso on 06/22/2025

Our project aims to create a well-equipped computer lab in Boromo, within the Central Assemblies of God Church, to provide young people with essential access to digital tools. This lab will benefit more than 300 young people in its first year, with a gradual expansion to the entire community. At a time when computer literacy is essential for success in school, university, or the workplace, many young people here have never used a computer. This lack of access hampers their ambitions and limits their opportunities. The lab will be equipped with computers, printers, and an internet connection, and staffed by volunteer instructors. We will offer computer initiations, office automation training, and practical workshops to develop digital skills. We are seeking financial donations, equipment, or technical partnerships to make this project possible. Thanks to your support, young people like the participants in our centers and our community, motivated but lacking resources, will be able to train, find direction, and build a better future.

How the church will sustain the Cause

To maintain the impact of this cause without additional external funding, our church is committed to ensuring the project's sustainability through concrete actions: Volunteer mobilization: Qualified church members (teachers, IT specialists, students) have already committed to providing free training and support. Sustainable management plan: A local committee will be established to ensure the maintenance, security, and efficient use of the equipment. It will also manage a small community fund funded by voluntary contributions or token services (e.g., reduced-cost training). Integration into church activities: The hall will be used for youth training programs, Sunday school, and the youth group, ensuring its regular and meaningful use. Local partnerships: We plan to collaborate with local schools and organizations to organize training or tutoring sessions, which could generate resources for maintenance or additional equipment. In summary, the community will take responsibility for this project, so that it continues to serve young people, even without regular external funding.
