Created in 2005, the ADAMA association for the development of Burkina Faso is the initiative of a group of doctors dedicated to providing medical assistance to the most disadvantaged. The starting point was the involvement of these surgeons in a field hospital in Burkina Faso to treat congenital deformities in children. The encounter with a little girl named Adama and the difficulties in treating her led to the creation of this association. Under the impetus of Dr. Stรฉphane Gentil, who is the President, men and women have joined this voluntary, generous, and collective approach to offer better living conditions to the inhabitants of this country.
Indeed, like many African countries, Burkina Faso suffers from several issues such as hunger, diseases, illiteracy, which affect the socio-cultural development of the inhabitants as a whole and hinder the economic development of the country as a whole.
The ADAMA association (Association for Development and Medical Aid to Africa) is a charitable, social, and humanitarian association that, through solidarity, sponsorship, donations, enables assistance to this population. The main objective is medical in nature: to provide care to the needy but also to train local doctors and equip their hospitals; then, by necessity, it now intervenes in other areas such as education, modernization, and collective equipment (wells, schools, orphanages, etc.).
The exhibition “Recadrages” shows us the faces of children and adults that the association has met during its many missions. These photos taken by amateurs have been “reframed” by artists from Nice. Their sale will allow the association to raise funds for a future mission to the “Land of Upright People”.
