Kona:Yako The young residents of Kona village in the Pilimpikou commune have initiated a fundraising campaign to equip the General Education College (CEG) of Kona with a photocopier.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the campaign, led by the school council's executive committee, was prompted by a request from the school's director, Alain Fernand Zongo. The initiative, scheduled to last three weeks, aims to raise 350,000 FCFA, which is the estimated cost of the photocopier.

The effort seeks to mobilize community financial resources to help meet the material needs of the college and improve its operating conditions. His Majesty Naaba Baongo, chief of Kona, has endorsed the initiative, encouraging young villagers to support the cause. An awareness session was held in the Kona market's public square to garner further support and commitment.

The campaign was well-received, with many young people expressing their willingness to contribute voluntarily. The fundraising was symbolically launched with the first contribution from Adama Kounkorgo. Following the meeting, the School Council treasurer, André Kounkorgo, began collecting the initial financial contributions.
