Welcome to Paper for All

 
Our aim and mission is to support education to enable development
Paper for All is a non-profit/charity registered in Burkina Faso, UK, France and the US 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.

One 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%, one of the lowest in the world (United Nations Development Program, Wikipedia, Unicef, CIA World Fact Book, World Bank, NationMaster, 2008, 2009, 2010 (1)).
How can children acquire knowledge if they do not even have paper and pen to write with? 
 
It is shocking to see some children leave their families, walk hours to come to classes made for 45 when there are 90 students, and then have to write in the margins of the notebooks already used by their brothers and sisters for lack of other means?
