Air Algeria plane crash in Mali on 24 July 2014

2014 was marred by the Air Algeria plane crash in Mali which caused the death of two members of the NGO Le Soleil dans la Main. These young people were visiting Burkina Faso to launch a project to construct and develop a children’s home for 120 vulnerable children in the village of Paolgo, which is in the district of Koudougou in the province of Boulkiemdé.

During its visit to Luxembourg for the partnership committee meeting held on 8 September 2014, the Burkina Faso delegation expressed its condolences to the victims’ relatives.
