BURUNDI

 

Burundi, once known as Urundi, was controlled by Germany from 1884, and by Belgium from 1919, until gaining its independence in 1962.
 
The country's recent history is replete with bloody battles between the Hutu and Tutsi, and those ethnic conflicts and disagreements continue today.
 
The future of Burundi is somewhat bleak, as less than 50% of children attend school, and HIV/AIDS is almost out-of-control. In addition, basic foods and medicines are in short supply.
 
With a high population density and very limited natural resources, most of the citizens remain economically suppressed, and resign themselves to subsistence agricultural farming.

World In Need has a presence there and this is linked into the Kenya office.

We need to find a Strategic Resource Advocate in order to create a Child Sponsorship programme, training courses in many areas and equip Pierre with the tools to reach out to the poor.

Contact the WIN office for more details or Pierre directly.

Sponsor a child....

Unwanted shares?
 
You can get rid of these charitably by donating them to ShareGift (registered charity 1052686), an independent charity which specialises in accepting small holdings of shares, particularly those which are not worth selling because that would cost more than they are worth. ShareGift distributes its funds to other UK charities and over 1,000 UK charities have already benefited, including World In Need.
