AMPO products

We would now like to present our products which are mainly made in our workshops in Burkina Faso. These include the workshop for the handicapped, the weaving shop and the tailoring workshop. The latter two workshops also offer training. Once they have completed their training, the young people leave AMPO equipped with the necessary tools to make them self-reliant in the trade they have learned. Our products also come from these workshops and so we can continue to provide a secure income for former AMPO kids.

All of these products are obtainable through our registered office in Plön. Order forms can be downloaded as PDF files. We also deliver our products for bazaars and other activities on a commission basis, as required.

Supporting AMPO

It is not only our products that benefit the AMPO children. We are also supported by companies donating part of their profits to AMPO.

• Jako-O supports us by selling the book „Kinder-Geschichten“

• Tee Kontor Kiel donates 1% of the turnover from their new online shop. Take a look. It’s worthwhile.

We would also like to express our thanks to all the companies who support AMPO with commitment and with many great ideas.
