Future Pathways
ATEFEO (Atelier d’Éducation et des Formations des Enfants Orphelins), meaning Orphans Education Program, was founded to support orphaned and vulnerable children through education and community-based initiatives in Burkina Faso.
In response to the evolving needs of communities and the desire to create a broader and more sustainable impact, the organization is undertaking a strategic transition to a new identity and strengthened model:
