A message from Alfred
Greetings!
I am hopeful and prayerful that you and your family are well. Saying that the pandemic impacted all of us would be an understatement. But I dare believe it has strengthened our commitment and care for one another. While sheltered in place our donors' actions went beyond the comfort of their homes.
Your contribution saved lives and we want to ensure you are posted about our united effort. I hope our accountable update below gives you joy for the difference you are making in the world. Thank you for your continued support to FNTE.

Love and Prayers,

Alfred K. Koala
Founder and President
Milestone: 100,000 with clean water every day
Yes 100,000 people now have access to clean water
With your response to the need of clean water, we have just completed the drilling and construction of 2 more clean water wells in two separate villages of Burkina Faso. these increased our total clean water wells to 10, which now serve over 100,000 people. Words cannot describe how much these clean water wells saved the villagers during Covid lock-down. See the thank you video below from one of the villages to witness the reality they face.
Thanks a thousand from the thousands in the villages of Burkina Faso.
Thank you video from Goudnaaba

Alidou from the village of Goudnaaba said: "Given that we are in lock-down and can't go to any other village for water, I can only imagine how many would've been dead or sick if we didn't have a water well in our village. Thanks to the people of America."
Marathon funds were matched
Thanks to our December 2019 marathon runners and their sponsors, funds were matched and went toward one of the newer water wells drilled this year. Thank you to Bridging The Gap for matching the funds toward one of our water wells.
FNTE donors and sponsors contributed $30,000 to make the
2 new clean water wells a reality.
Women Microloan Success Empowers Us
This is not a hand-out. It's a hand-up paid forward
We grant $100 to each women in villages to start their own handcrafted businesses. Some do tailoring, some make soap while others sell spices or food, etc. In a year, they make more than double of their granted amount after expenses. The initial investment of $100 is paid forward to another woman. As the cycle continues more and more women are freed from extreme poverty and become able to support their children's education.
The ladies nailed it 100%
Last year we granted our microloan to 50 women. This year they were all able to pay-it-forward to 50 new recipients.

In addition, our donors contributed for 50 additional new recipients increasing our total grantees this year to 100 beneficiaries.
You have empowered them and their success empowers us in our commitment to end poverty one family at a time.
A total of 386 women became small handcrafted business entrepreneurs as a results of our pay-it-forward strategy.

The Burkina Experience Inside a Video

Let us take you on a virtual ride through the landscape of Burkina Faso where our founder was born. This is also the country where we started the implementation of FNTE programs with hope of reaching other poor nations in the near future. Enjoy the ride.
