About Us
Burkinabe Student Network
Burkinabe student network is a non-profit international student organization. The idea of creating an organization that enroll the students from Burkina Faso, living in the United States or planning to attend to the American educational system, came from the lack of any structure devoted to the Burkinabe student’s life in the United States. This organization wants to be a network, created by students and alumni, aware of the challenges imposed by the desire to get a higher level of education in the US, to come in assistance to their mates. The network is to assist, support and facilitate students’ adaptation in their living and learning process by promoting international student education and goals in the United States.
Our Vision
