Burkina Faso is located in the Sahel area, i.e. the lower edge of the Sahara desert and has no coast of its own. This makes it difficult to build up exports and imports, as transport and customs costs make it difficult to compete on the world market. 80% of the population still lives on subsistence agriculture and 70% of the adult population is illiterate. According to the UNDP's Human Development Index, Burkina Faso ranks 183 out of a total of 186 countries, and is thus the world's third poorest country. The general healthcare system has tremendous shortcomings and lacks almost everything: staff, sterile environments, equipment and premises. The shortage of dentists and dental care is widespread. There are 4 trained dentists in the municipality of Ziniare with approximately 65,000 inhabitants.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our partner for TLUG in Burkina Faso is the Swedish non-profit organization Yennenga Progress, which actively participates in community building by developing the concept of The Good Village. What started with a preschool in the village of Nakamtenga, in Burkina Faso, has since 2001 developed into an entire community under growth.<\/p>\n You can read more about Yennenga Progress at yennengaprogress.se<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In general, dental health in the area has deteriorated. With a growing middle class and the ability to buy food, the consumption of sugar has increased. This, combined with a lack of knowledge about preventive dental care, has led to an increased incidence of caries and dental problems.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The project has just started and the first group of volunteers will be sent down in November 2019. We will work in the village of Nakamtenga with their preschool and primary school as well as with a preschool in a nearby village of Monomtenga. In Nakamtenga there is a newly opened dental clinic which is so far only used when TLUG is on site and is run in combination with the medical center Dr Denis Mukwege Center.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The volunteer trips last for two weeks and will take place during the months of November and March. All professional categories are welcome to apply: dentists, dental hygienists, dental nurses and students. The volunteers themselves are responsible for the flight, vaccinations, insurance and private excursions. Food, accommodation and transport during the working weeks are offered free of charge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The goal is to achieve long-term improved oral health. Through long-term planning, the project must have a positive and continuous impact on as many people as possible. The aim is to work with help for self-help to avoid a position of dependence between the partners concerned and the country in question.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What you as a volunteer can expect is training in oral health and hygiene as well as dietary habits, preventive care and some emergency treatment for the students. A toothbrush project will also be started, which means that the children brush their teeth under supervision every day at school.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n please read\u00a0the travelogue from the latest project<\/a>,<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0click here<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>to see a video about the project from February 2019.

Enligt UNDP:s Human Development Index, ligger Burkina Faso p\u00e5 plats 183 av sammanlagt 186 l\u00e4nder, och \u00e4r d\u00e4rmed v\u00e4rldens tredje fattigaste land. Den allm\u00e4nna sjukv\u00e5rden har oerh\u00f6rda brister och saknar n\u00e4stan allt: personal, sterila milj\u00f6er, utrustning och lokaler. Bristen p\u00e5 tandl\u00e4kare och tandv\u00e5rd \u00e4r utbredd. Det finns 4 utbildade tandl\u00e4kare i kommunen Ziniare med ca 65 000 inv\u00e5nare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n V\u00e5r samarbetspartner f\u00f6r TLUG i Burkina Faso \u00e4r den svenska ideella organisationen Yennenga Progress som aktivt medverkar till samh\u00e4llsbyggande genom att utveckla konceptet Den goda byn. Det som b\u00f6rjade med en f\u00f6rskola i byn Nakamtenga, i Burkina Faso, har sedan 2001 utvecklats till ett helt samh\u00e4lle under tillv\u00e4xt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Du kan l\u00e4sa mer om Yennenga Progress p\u00e5 yennengaprogress.se<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generellt har tandh\u00e4lsan i omr\u00e5det f\u00f6rs\u00e4mrats. I och med en v\u00e4xande medelklass och m\u00f6jligheten att k\u00f6pa mat, har konsumtionen av socker \u00f6kat. Detta i kombination med bristande kunskap om f\u00f6rebyggande tandv\u00e5rd har lett till \u00f6kad kariesf\u00f6rekomst och dentala problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Projektet \u00e4r nystartat och f\u00f6rsta volont\u00e4rgruppen skickas ner i november 2019. Vi kommer att arbeta i byn Nakamtenga med deras f\u00f6rskola och grundskola samt med en f\u00f6rskola i en n\u00e4rliggande by Monomtenga. I Nakamtenga finns en ny\u00f6ppnad tandl\u00e4karklinik som \u00e4n s\u00e5 l\u00e4nge anv\u00e4nds enbart n\u00e4r TLUG \u00e4r p\u00e5 plats och drivs i kombination med v\u00e5rdcentralen Dr Denis Mukwege Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volont\u00e4rresorna p\u00e5g\u00e5r i tv\u00e5 veckor och kommer att ske under november samt mars m\u00e5naderna. Samtliga yrkeskategorierna \u00e4r v\u00e4lkomna att s\u00f6ka: tandl\u00e4kare, tandhygienister, tandsk\u00f6terskor samt studenter.

Genom l\u00e5ngsiktighet ska projektet ha en positiv och kontinuerlig p\u00e5verkan f\u00f6r s\u00e5 m\u00e5nga m\u00e4nniskor som m\u00f6jligt. Syftet \u00e4r att arbeta med hj\u00e4lp till sj\u00e4lvhj\u00e4lp f\u00f6r att undvika en beroendest\u00e4llning mellan ber\u00f6rda samarbetspartners och landet i fr\u00e5ga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Det du som volont\u00e4r kan f\u00f6rv\u00e4nta dig \u00e4r utbildning i oral h\u00e4lsa och hygien samt kostvanor, f\u00f6rebyggande v\u00e5rd samt viss akutbehandling till eleverna.
