In Burkina Faso, 80% of the inhabitants are farmers. Their livelihood depends on rainfall. The problem in this semi-arid region is that it only rains, on average, four months a year. So, how do you survive the entire 12 months? You adapt. People must find other work to get through the year. And education must adapt as well to prepare young people to survive in this difficult climate. Young men must spend time learning how to farm successfully. For this reason and others, Burkina Faso has the LOWEST literacy rate (21.8%) IN THE WORLD according to the United Nations Human Development study in 2011.
