The Transformative Impact of Gampela Centre

Every class participates in sports and physical activities, helping children build strength, coordination, and lifelong healthy habits. Thanks to a generous foundation, a brand-new sports field will provide even more opportunities for children to play, train, and grow.

Beyond the playground, students are getting their hands dirty in the school’s thriving garden. With onions, cabbages, and peppers soon to be planted, this hands-on experience not only teaches agricultural skills but also helps provide food for the school, deepening children’s connection to the land.

Meanwhile, the school lunch program ensures that students have the energy to focus, learn, and fully participate in daily activities. With full stomachs and eager hearts, students stay focused in class, leading to improved academic performance.

Vocational programs are thriving, equipping students with practical skills for the future. The electricity program has grown from just eight students to 21 eager learners, while the sewing program remains in high demand—especially for young girls—33 out of 35 students are young women.

In kindergarten, a second tutor now provides more personalized attention for 48 young learners, ensuring they receive the strong foundation they need to thrive.

Since the inauguration of a new computer lab, students have been developing essential digital skills. The library, now housed within the lab, is more inviting than ever, encouraging a love for reading and discovery among students.

At the heart of it all is faith. Discipleship classes led by Pastor Mathew continue to transform lives, helping children grow in confidence and purpose as they deepen their relationship with God.

Prayer Requests:

• Praise God for academic progress! At the end of the first term, passing rates showed strong results in primary school and vocational school, and a steady improvement in high school.
• Pray for the many internally displaced families seeking refuge and for lasting peace and stability in Burkina Faso and its neighbouring countries.
• Praise God for the power of intercession! Some children who had dropped out of school have returned after being prayed for.
