What we do…
Our primary focus is working with hundreds of families in a large destitute community in Burundi, to lift them out of poverty and empower them towards self-sufficiency. With lessons learned we have now started to extend our activities to other communities across the nation.
Activities:
Foundations for Farming
We are supporting 200 vulnerable families to feed themselves and become food secure by teaching them Foundations for Farming, which results in greatly increased yields (6 x the national average). To help alleviate poverty and eradicate hunger across Burundi, we are now offering this training to those across the nation.
Education
We provide uniforms and shoes, books and stationery to enable hundreds of primary school children to attend school.
Crisis Support
We seek to ‘be there’ for people and to help where possible with food, rents for accommodation and medical expenses.
Health and Nutrition
We provide food to families in crisis, plus daily milk and porridge for malnourished children. We also assist with the cost of emergency medical care.
Children and Families
Many are severely malnourished. Daily we supply milk, porridge and formula milk for babies.
Covid Response
We support our families to ‘stay safe’ during the covid pandemic, and provide soap and buckets to the community.
Kingdom Care
We provide a point of contact and pastoral support for people who need help with many issues such as relational breakdowns, hunger and burial costs.
