The SUJARO Direct Action Project (SDAP) is a 501c (3) incorporated nonprofit organization working to dramatically improve the lives of a target population of 150,000 people living in extreme poverty in 20 villages in Western Burkina Faso, West Africa. Targeted and focused actions in the areas of food security, fresh water and hygiene, health care, education, and economic development will help address the principle areas in which people need assistance so that they will be able to take themselves out of the vicious cycle of extreme poverty and the accompanying, and avoidable, high degree of suffering.
