Supporting the Next Generation

Pritzker Award-winning architect, Diébédo Francis Kéré, attended an elementary school in Burkina Faso very similar to Guirgho. 

After getting his degree in architecture, he knew exactly what he wanted to do. He wanted to go home to Gando in Burkina Faso, to help his neighbors reap the benefit of his education. In this talk, Kéré shows off some of the beautiful structures he's helped to build in his small village in the years since then, including an award-winning primary school made from clay by the entire community.

Pritzker prize winning Architect, Francis Kéré attended a public school similar to the school in Guirgho. He's an example of the potential of children everywhere. He's not only making contributions to his village, but he is also contributing to the world.
