ASSOCIAZIONE CENTRO GUELAWE - A.P.S.
Project of agricultural and cattle formation in Burkina Faso
“…We chose to apply new techniques and we are looking for organizational forms more appropriate to our civilization, rejecting hard and definitely all forms of external dictates, in order to create conditions for a dignity equal to our value. Rejecting the idea of a mere survival…, democratize our society, open our souls to a world of collective responsibility, dare to invent the future ... "
The association Centre Guélawé has its core in the city of Diébougou and in neighboring villages situated to the south of the Country. It was established in 2004, in Burkina Faso, by the wish of a group of residents in order to combat the impoverishment of rural areas and the exodus of young people from the countryside.
The activities of the Centre Guélawé predict the straight and active involvement of the local people; so we intend promote training activities for the development of technical and organizational skills and to contrast the loss of traditional values.
Objectives of the Association :
- Development of the traditional agriculture and cattle-raising, through the increase in value of the local resources;
- Construction of wells and irrigation systems;
- Agricultural formation;
- Measures of protection of the nature to contrast the deforestation;
- Construction of the Centre (which will house classrooms for training, warehouse, library, etc);
