About Us

We are a UK registered not-for-profit organisation focused on delivering sustainable healthcare in Burkina Faso.

We are very focused on three key principles:

1. Sustainability

Economic and human resource self-sufficiency

2. Local

The local community has to fully own responsibility for projects

3. Partnership

The healthcare crisis in Burkina Faso is so large that we have to be building something scalable for real impact.

The Burkina Health Foundation is about backing local management teams: providing the technical knowledge and experience across medicine, management and governance.
