People in Doumbala, Burkina Faso, and nearby villages worked together on September 16, 2026, to repair three kilometers of road between Zékuy and Dakuy.

The citizens used hand tools and carts to move materials and fill potholes, as part of a larger initiative called “Construct the Country.” Paul Dakuyo, working with the local education authority, praised the effort and said improved roads are essential for development. Béta Tamini, representing teachers, encouraged the community to continue supporting the country’s progress.

Bouda Dembelé, who organized the road repair, stated the volunteers need financial assistance to continue their work. Eloi Dakio, a local official, explained the community is taking action to improve roads while awaiting more permanent solutions like paving, and emphasized the importance of security.
