Our history
Rooted in Burkina Faso. Connected by purpose.
BO Foundation USA grows from relationships, practical experience and a shared commitment to the communities BO Foundation serves.
Serving the people.Local roots.
Local roots.
A wider horizon.
BO Foundation was established by Boukary Ouedraogo in Burkina Faso to serve people and communities.
Its program history brings together education, health, entrepreneurship, water and environment, and connections with the African diaspora. Mickey Couvertier previously served as Directeur des Programmes, working directly with the foundation’s communities, teams and leadership.
BO Foundation USA is a legally independent Colorado organization advancing this shared mission. Its U.S. leadership and activities form a new chapter in that relationship.
