* About Burundi
About Burundi
Burundi is one of the world's poorest nations and is now rebuilding following civil war since 1972.
Burundi-outline-small
Burundi has an estimated population of around 8 million, approximately half of whom are aged 14 or less. The effects of AIDS and cival war has had a significant effect on the demographics of the country.

There is now peace since elections in 2005, but the country still faces the formidable challenges of reviving a shattered economy and of forging national unity with up to 500,000 refugees now returning from camps in Tanzania and Kenya.

Hope Centre Report for 27th June 2009

Some more pictures arrived from Hope centre this week and you can see that the fence sheeting around Hope Centre has been fully replaced so the security of the site has improved a lot. However until further funds come in there is no real building work going on at the moment.

The large green truck that was bought at the start of the project can now be sold so this will allow us to carry out the work that still needs to be done to complete house number four and in turn allow the remaining children that are still living up country to move into Hope Centre.

The truck was initially bought to assist in bringing the large amount of stones and earth that was needed to raise the levels around the six houses. As this has now been completed we will just hire a truck when one is needed in the future.


The Children

Here are some of the children of Hope Centre. The light brown cloths are actually the local school uniforms.

















Please Remember

We don't want to forget about Hope Centre and it's on going needs for funds to keep the building work going but now, more importantly, we need to make sure that having built the houses that they have enough money to live in them and be able to employ the mamas and buy the necessary food etc.

Continued support still required:

Can I just say that it is great how many of you have donated or been involved with this project in some way however there is still much to be done and, even after the houses are complete, there is still the need for a vocational school and clinic in the Gatumba community. This, however, only scratches the surface of the problem here in Burundi so please encourage many more people to get on board and find ways to help where they can. This requires a lot of sacrifice with your time and money but every little bit of help goes a long way.

Please continue to give of your time and money to this project and other projects like this.
