Foundation of the association
After his own experience and the messages from friends and relatives about suffering and death in childbirth in his home country, Adama Bance decided in 2018 to change this situation. On 28 October 2018, the time had come: the statutes of “Hand in Hand Burkina Faso e.V.” were signed and the association was officially founded.

This is what we have achieved in 2022
- We raised money at some information stands and fundraising events
- We pushed ahead with our project planning, and after a target analysis we decided to set up an ambulance and an emergency telephone in Ouarégou as the next step, so that women giving birth can quickly get to the nearest hospital
- And last but not least, we built our well on 02 December 2022. More about the well construction you can find [here]
All this would not have been possible without all our supporters and donors, to whom we would like to express our heartfelt thanks once again.
More about our actions you can read in our accountability reports (“Rechenschaftsberichte” german). All existing reports of the past years can be found in our [Archive (german)].
There is a lot to do – we are tackling it!
The political upheaval in Burkina Faso in 2022 and the terrorist attacks from Mali in the north of the country are currently complicating the situation in Burkina Faso. Fortunately, Ouarégou, which is located in the south-east of the country, is not affected by the terrorist attacks. Furthermore, there is a lack of necessary health care, especially for birth and pregnancy in Ouarégou, which we want to improve.
For 2023 we have planned the following
- Elaboration of a detailed project plan incl. situation analysis on site for our next planned project “ambulance and emergency phone”
- Collect donations and apply for funds from foundations and sponsors for the “Ambulance and Emergency Phone” project
- Carrying out information stands and charity events
