COVID-19

UPDATE

As COVID numbers increase in Burundi, communities are ready to learn about how to protect themselves. So, it was with great exuberance they celebrated the BDS delivery of water tanks and soap to be used at community meetings.

STEWARD LEADERSHIP

Fabien is a member of GIRUMWETE (Let Us Be Courageous), one of the 98 community groups that BDS has trained in being a good steward of one's resources. He shares that the training helped him to understand what it means to help others.

MUSHROOM

PROJECT

While attending an event in the community, the Commune Administrator took time to visit a mushroom shed of a BDS group participant. Mushrooms are readily grown in small, dark places and provide a good source of micronutrients essential for good health.

MEET OUR PARTICIPANTS

My name is Ntahomvukiye Lucie. I am a participant from one of the BDS groups of participants called TUGWANYUBUKENE (Let us fight against poverty). I got remarried to a man who already had children. I came to his house with one child from my previous marriage. My child and his did not get along and I was not making it easier for them either. One child ended up running away from the family due to those disputes. I am the one who started changing due to the SLP and then the whole family changed. We get along now, and I even went to apologize to the child who ran away. Now we are friends and there is peace between us.
