Namentenga/health: The Song-Taaba Federation of Namentenga Craftsmen's Associations, in collaboration with the Boulsa Health District, organized a blood donation session on Friday, June 27, 2025. For the occasion, around twenty bags of blood were collected to save lives.
According to Burkina Information Agency, this activity, which resulted in the collection of around twenty blood bags, is part of the 48-hour activities, announced the Federation's president, Philippe Kafando.

Biomedical technologists Galidou Guengan© and Souleymane Baguian praised the artisans' initiative and thanked them for their work. They urged the public to follow in the footsteps of the artisans, as they believe the upcoming rainy season is a time when the need for blood is high for pregnant women and children. "Giving blood saves a life," said one of the biomedical technologists, Galidou Gu©ngan©.
The artisans also received a visit from their sponsors, Andr© Taondyand© and Hamidou Pascal Lonfo. Philippe Kafando, head of the Song-Taaba Federation of Namentenga Artisans' Associations, expressed satisfaction with the mobilization and urged them to remain united for future activities.
