A Car for Kids in Burkina Faso, West Africa!
Donation protected
Harouna Zoungrana is a teacher and founder of College Prive Jeunesse Elohim in Burkina Faso West Africa seeking a partnership with friends in America to help provide transportation and supplies for his students and school. Scott and Julie Nackos have donated their son, Kyle's truck, to send to Harouna. Kyle was killed by a drunk driver in 2017 and they felt touched that Kyle would have wanted the students at this school to have it. We now need funds to get it in like-new shape, pay for shipping and customs (actually quite a lot of money), purchase (or have donated!!!) a container to ship it in and then fill it with supplies. Thank you Nackos family and everyone else who has helped/is helping with this effort!

A reliable truck will give Students access to good quality health care when they need it and a way to bring books and other supplies to the school. Currently, they have a motorcycle as the only means of transportation, which is not adequate for their needs.
We will be purchasing the vehicle in the United States and transporting it through a company in Houston, Texas to West Africa. Transportation and Customs add significantly to the cost but are a better option than purchasing in Burkina Faso. The truck will be shipped in a purchased shipping container which will stay at the school when the truck arrives. The container is currently being filled with supplies such as backpacks, laptops, K-12 clothing, office supplies, etcetera that community members are donating.
