About Us

A group of 9 children looking and smiling at the camera. Among them is Neimata who is wearing an eye patch on her right eye.
When Neimata was playing with her friends, she received a heavy blow to her left eye. The problems were so uncomfortable that she could no longer go to school. In September 2019, she was put in touch with the Kaya CBR programme and is now looking for an inclusive school with our support. Burkina Faso 2020 © Light for the World
