The donation aims to alleviate the burden of education costs for the children of heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Professor Soré described the gesture as highly symbolic, reflecting the solidarity and commitment of the Burkinabè people in the fight against terrorism. He emphasized that the donation shows that the entire nation stands behind the orphans, acknowledging the sacrifice of their parents and mobilizing to support them.
