We are collecting much needed items for the children that live in Burkina Faso, West Africa home to an estimated 16 million people.

770,000 children in Burkina Faso are growing up without parental care. Thousands are orphaned and many more have been abandoned by their parents due to precarious economic situations. Droughts have a strong impact on their living conditions.

We are collection clothing, toiletries (soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste) along with any monetary donations that will be utilized to purchase rice, beans and corn which are readily available for the region. A 50Kg bag of rice or beans can feed a family of 5 for 30 days!!

If you are able to donate new or gently used clothing, as well as new toiletries, and are local to Pittsburgh PA please drop off at:
