Welcome to Paper for All
Our aim is to support education to enable development
Paper for All is a registered non-profit/charity that aims to promote knowledge leading to development. Paper for All focuses on improving children learning conditions by providing academic resources and tutoring to children in one of the most illiterate countries in Africa: Burkina Faso. Paper for All operates in Burkina Faso and is registered in the UK, France and US.
Our actions are focused on improving shocking learning conditionsOne of the premisses behind Paper for All is that education is one of the first steps leading to awareness and development. This is why we targeted Burkina Faso, a country with a literacy rate of 24-26%, one of the lowest in the world (United Nations Development Program, Wikipedia, Unicef, CIA World Fact Book, World Bank, 2008, 2009 (1)).
how can children acquire knowledge if they do not even have paper to write on?
It is shocking to see some children leave their families, walk hours to come to class and then having to write in the margins of the notebooks already used by their brothers and sisters.
