Sandia Millogo was born in Konkourona, Burkina Faso in 1939 and has had a hard life. She has lost 7 children and 5 grandchildren to preventable illnesses, like malaria, diarrhea and pneumonia, before they were 5 years old. As a matriarch in the village, Sandia would like to see a world where children do not die from preventable diseases. Opening of the Sandia Millogo Primary Health and Social Promotion Center has brought her great joy.
