Association for Peace and Solidarity (APS)
Association for Peace and Solidarity (APS), in French,Association pour la Paix et la Solidarité, is a non-governmental organisation working towards grassroots development. They support the ideals of democracy, liberty, peace and solidarity. They feel that in keeping these ideals in mind, they can better achieve better social, economic, cultural and environmental development. They were granted status as a Burkina Faso NGO on November 10, 1994 by n° 00187 / MEFP / SG / DGCOOP / BSONG by the Burkina Faso Ministry of the Economy and National Development. APS believes that mutual understanding is the key to development. Their projects are a process of exchange with local populations; one in which each partner comes to know and understand the other. By approaching projects in a spirit of collective action, of Peace and of Solidarity, they work to conquer under-development.

APS’ strategy is to target the most significant and pressing problems of development. In our opinion, these are:  a lack of potable water hunger endemic and pandemic illnesses, affecting particularly women and children illiteracy desertification the absence of true democracy
