Education is the key to a prosperous future
At BIT we believe that education is the best way to create a future generation of leaders. A group of young individuals that will steer Burkina Faso towards success. We need your help in order to provide students with the facilities, the knowledge, and the mindset they need to become these leaders. By supporting BIT, you give motivated students the chance to flourish and act as a catalyst for positive change in Burkina Faso.
We are still growing
While BIT is already creating a significant impact, we are not done yet! In the next academic year we will be opening a second bachelor course on electrical engineering with a focus on renewable energies. Additionally, BIT is growing, as new classes will join every year. These expansions require new facilities, more professors, and most importantly: your help! BIT aims to maximize its impact by continually growing as an Institute. However, we cannot do this alone and are extremely thankful for any support we receive going forward.
Plants
We are planning to plant 300 new trees on our campus in the coming years. You can donate shade to our students by contributing 30 € per tree (incl. digging, fertilizing, water supply).
Books
In Burkina Faso, books are in short supply, but much needed for our students. Donate 100 books as an initial stocking of our library for 2,500 €.
Laboratory Materials
For our electrical engineering class, we are building up a laboratory where students can get hands-on experience with electrical applications. Contribute 5,000 € and help us to educate much needed engineers for the country.
Practical Experience
Part of our students are pursuing international internships in Ghana or Côte d’Ivoire. Support their experience with a 460 € grant each; for accommodation, food, and international transport.
Laptops
For our 120 new students this year, we are in need of 120 laptops for 500 € each. Contribute to educating a new generation of IT personnel for Burkina Faso.
Scholarships
We are a non-profit university, but still need tuition fees to finance our operations. Help out one student by providing full scholarship (3,000 € / Bachelor) or (1,000 € / 1 year).
Auditorium
We just finished constructing auditorium buildings for our students, holding 200 and 100 people respectively. Help us in scaling up and increasing the number of students we can educate. The buildings are named after you if you contribute at least 30% of the cost. The cost of a 100 people auditorium is 200,000 €.
Accommodation
By the end of 2020 we will start constructing on-campus student housing to ease the application of students from other cities and to vitalize the campus life. Help us in covering the construction costs. The buildings are named after you. The cost of housing for 8 students is 60,000 €.
Chair Financing
As a non-profit university, we need sponsors that help us bring our vision to life. For the most avid supporters of our project we are offering the financing and naming of our computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering chair. Level-up our impact in Burkina Faso with your yearly contribution of 60,000€ per Chair.
