Genesis
Association Miséricorde Inconditionnelle, AMIwas born of an unshakeable determination to fight poverty and social indigence in Burkina Faso. Its creation is the culmination of a path strewn with obstacles, but driven by a profound determination: that of saving populations in distress, through solidarity and by compassion.
In a critical context where vital needs are becoming a privilege as the most basic daily sustenance becomes increasingly inaccessible for survival, the Association Miséricorde Inconditionnelle strives to bring support, dignity and hope to people in great precariousness, forgotten by crises.
Context
Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in West Africa, faces colossal socio-economic challenges. Nearly 40 % of the population lives below the poverty line, a particularly glaring reality in rural areas, where access to education, health care or drinking water remains very limited.
This structural poverty is compounded by growing insecurity due to armed conflict. Thousands of families have been forced to flee their homes and take refuge in makeshift camps. More than 1.5 million internally displaced people are now facing extreme hardship.
Living conditions in these areas are alarming: inadequate infrastructure, shortage of vital resources, insalubrity, isolation... Women and children, in particular, pay a heavy price, with violence, disease and exclusion from school. Despite the efforts of the State and the international community, the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate.
Faced with this silent emergency, the Association Miséricorde Inconditionnelle wants to provide real, human and lasting support.

Personalized support
AMI develops tailor-made initiatives to support individuals and families in critical situations: one-off financial assistance, temporary accommodation, educational or psychological support.

Mercy does not stop at the act of helping, but also includes support and accompaniment.
