Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, faces the evils of urban poverty like many of the continent’s major cities.

Because of difficulties in accessing education services for the poorest, many young people find themselves out of school, unemployed, without training. Having no know-how and not knowing how to provide for themselves, these young boys and girls suffer from great misery and many find themselves idle on the street. This situation is a risk for themselves and their community.

Micro-gardening makes it possible to produce vegetables with high added value in an urban context without access to the land, by using mainly recycled materials. The partner association has developed its know-how in micro-gardening and wants to set up a new training in this area.
