in Burundi to bring

About Burundi

Located in Central Africa, Rwanda and Burundi historically were one and the same. These two countries share a common history, having been colonized by Germany in 1890 and then Belgium in 1916. Both countries are of similar area and geography, populated by the same ethnic groups. Since gaining independence in 1962, Burundi has endured major waves of internal conflict resulting in genocide, causing more than 250,000 deaths. 

Burundi is one of the the poorest and malnourished countries in the world.

A landlocked and primarily agricultural society, 90% of the farming is on a subsistence level.

Though this small country continues to endure much suffering and loss, God is at work! He has called gifted and committed leaders to bring restoration and renewal to their country, and Hope4Burundi is joining with them in their efforts to see the Hope of Jesus spread throughout their nation. 

Impact in Burundi

Burundi, Africa, has 18 provinces. Homecare has two centers located in two of those 18 provinces (Bujumbura and Bururi).

Between these two centers and over the last decade, Homecare has received widows and orphans from ALL 18 provinces of Burundi. While we may only have few representatives from some provinces now, we hope to have many more in the future from all provinces.

The future hope radiating from the women who have attended the sewing and discipleship program has stretched out over all of Burundi.

Join us through prayer or giving as we watch women come into the Homecare program and leave transformed, returning to their villages and impacting their communities.
