The People
Burkina Faso is a country of contrast, and although one of the poorest countries in the world it is rich in its cultural heritage. With a land mass just a little larger than the UK and a population 20% the size Burkina Faso has over 72 distinct language groups the largest of them being the Mossi who make up 70% of the population.


The Land
The land is as diverse as its people with the semi desert like features towards the north and the lush pasture lands of the south. In the north the rains vary from year to year making life precarious for its inhabitants never sure whether harvests are going to suffice for the year to come or not.
