The NGO Women Thrive Worldwide (http://www.womenthrive.org) has been doing a lot of work with Burkina Faso recently. They're currently trying to get the Senate to pass the GROWTH Act (Global Resources and Opportunities for Women to Thrive Act), which would prioritize women in US aid programs in countries like Burkina Faso.

I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."
