Partner organisation AVO receives medal from president Burkina Faso

One of Cycling out of Poverty’s longest relationship is with our partner organisation AVO in Burkina Faso. On international women’s day 8th of March 2010, Esther Yameogo of AVO received a medal from the president of Burkina Faso for the achievements of AVO in giving women a chance to cycle out of poverty. The president is impressed about the bicycle projects of AVO. Please have a look at the video on the right, to see a short story about AVO’s bicycle projects, which was featured on Burkina Faso’s national news broadcasting in October 2009 (a few days after 100 bicycles-on-credit were handed over to women in the village of Nariou).
