BWEF Students

Since 2009, BWEF selects every year a number of female students from impoverished backgrounds and funds their university studies. Besides paying the tuition fees, BWEF als provides help with computers, housing, transport, lunch money, hygiene and health care.  All efforts aim to build a network of young educated Burkina women so that they, in turn, can help other Burkina girls.
