The Alliance of Young People for Peace and Development in Burkina Faso provided school supplies to 450 children whose parents died while serving in the country’s defense and volunteer forces.
The group distributed kits containing notebooks, writing tablets, pens, erasers, rulers, pencils, and water bottles to support the students as they begin the 2026-2027 school year. The Alliance aimed to ease the financial burden on caregivers and honor the sacrifices made by the fallen soldiers.
Percey Khaled Gnassounou, the organization’s secretary general, stated the supplies represent a message of hope and recognition for the children, ensuring they know they are not forgotten. The Alliance of Young People for Peace and Development also encouraged other organizations to provide educational support to children who have lost parents in the defense forces and volunteer groups.
