Burkina Faso is a patriarchal society, where boys receive preference in schooling. Because of this, literacy rates among girls and women are far lower than their male counterparts. Girls are taught from a young age that they are second-class citizens, and this causes many girls and women have a very low self worth. Christian World Outreach strives to help girls and women realize their God-given dignity and self-worth through Biblical education, vocational training, and loving encouragement.

Christian World Outreach (CWO) has completed the construction of the beginning phases of a training center called the Village of Opportunity (VOO). In October 2010, classes started at the new facility after conducting classes in barrowed classrooms for several years. The Village of Opportunity is providing young women with a Christ-centered training facility that helps them to recognize their inherent value and learn a vocational skill that will allow them to provide for their families. Currently, The Village of Opportunity is offering classes in sewing and agriculture, with classes in cooking, cosmetology and event planning to be offered in the near future. The students at the school will also take courses in small business to help them learn to manage their skills and work within the business world.

In addition to providing life-giving skills to the students who attend, the Village of Opportunity provides jobs for the local Burkinabes. Students who graduate in the top of their classes will have the opportunity to become teachers as the school grows or participate in micro-finance loans to create their own businesses.
