The NGO Iles de Paix is engaged in providing improved and sustainable living conditions to people across all continents. Mithra entered into a 3 year partnership for the construction of a new secondary school in Louargou, Burkina Faso.
To address the critical need for secondary education and especially young female population, local community were consulted and brought on board this educational process to have the school initiative perceived as a true asset by the community.
Situated in Louargou, the premises were inaugurated in October 2014. While addressing close to 12% of the secondary schooling infrastructure needs in the area, this new school reduced the walking distance to 2/3 km instead of 10 km for 240 students.
