1. Episode Ms. Silga Blandine
In Burkina Faso, half of the population lives below the poverty line, permanent jobs are rare – and at the same time there is a shortage of skilled workers. Girls and women are particularly affected. TÜV AUSTRIA has been supporting the construction of the technical school Lycée Technique Béthel de Nanoro since 2019 and donated €15,000 again this year.
The project was initiated by the mayor of Nanoro Jaques Konkobo and the Maria Enzersdorf architect Peter Klein, both graduates of HTL Mödling.
The project is part of the ICEP association’s RéCouVrer program, which strengthens the resilience of vulnerable people in West Africa.
Every Advent Sunday, we provide insights into this initiative, which opens up career prospects for young people.
Ms. Silga Blandine talks about her life in Burkina Faso: “When I came to Nanoro after fleeing the attacks in my village, I had nothing. I was completely dependent on food aid. The RéCouVrer project enabled me to train in the production of soap and bleach. At first I had doubts as to whether I would be able to do it, but the trainers patiently guided us. Today I make soap, which I sell at the market and to my neighbors. Thanks to this income, I can contribute to household expenses. This training has given me back my dignity and self-confidence. For me, RéCouVrer is not just a project, but a new opportunity to lead a dignified life and hope for a better future for my family.”
