This is the first of a series of posts on Compassion-sponsored countries. Let's look at Burkina Faso.
Burkina Faso is a country located in West Africa. It's surrounded by Mali, Niger, Benin, togo and Ghana, and the Ivory Coast. It's slightly larger than Colorado.
The population is a little over 15 million, with 57% being below the poverty line. About 77% of the population is unemployed.
The life expectancy for males is about 51 years, and for females it's 54 years. Now, that makes an impact! Infant mortality is 86/1,000 live births.
