Maia was founded in 1996 to help the community of Bobo Dioulasso, the second largest city in Burkina Faso. They aim to support those living in difficult condition, particularly with regards education and health.
Our programme with Maia is thanks to our merger with Coaching For Hope, and involves community football coaches being trained to deliver sessions to young people that discuss the harmful cultural practice of Female Genital Mutilation, and seeks to find ways to engage the community to help prevent it.
