Company 4 Humanity: Health Crisis Alert in Burkina Faso

Civilians in Burkina Faso are facing devastating health challenges amidst massacres and sieges.

Brutal violence has displaced over 2 million people, leaving countless families without access to essential healthcare.

Humanitarian aid, including medical support, is increasingly threatened as armed groups target health workers and facilities.

Despite bearing the brunt of climate-related health impacts, Burkina Faso receives less than 1% of global climate funding, intensifying vulnerabilities to diseases and malnutrition.

Conflict has severely disrupted the nation's fragile healthcare system, pushing communities to the brink of a public health crisis.

At Company 4 Humanity, we are committed to standing with the people of Burkina Faso.

Join us as we work to restore health, provide medical aid, and advocate for global attention to this humanitarian emergency.
