Bal©: Actors in the world of secondary education donated 11 tons of cement and several other construction materials worth approximately 2 million CFA francs to the Faso Mªbo agency on Thursday, May 7, 2026. The purchase order for the materials was presented to the High Commissioner of the province, Martin Bako, by a delegation of donors led by the provincial director.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the equipment handed over to the Faso Mªbo agency includes 11 tonnes and 15 bags of cement, 100 pairs of gloves, 10 trowels, 10 pickaxes, 10 shovels, and 10 heavier star wheelbarrows with a net value of 1,700,500 FCFA.
