* 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.

Administrator Comment 114 Children on Christmas Day 2009


The children of Hope Centre celebrated Christmas along with another 72 children from poor families of the surrounding communities.

The children were very happy and they had the opportunity of having meals that differ from what they would normally have.

You'll see that they have put up a temporary canopy to protect the children from the sun whilst they eat.

I recognise some of the helpers here as being from Pastor Leonard's church up country:







Building work still Progressing Well.

Yes, the building work is still progressing well. Here are the latest pictures of house number four:





Administrator Comment Burundi Visit August 2010
We are hoping to take a small team to Burundi in August 2010 to do further work on Hope Centre. This will depend on the political situation being stable, as there is some uncertainty about the outcome of the elections planned for end June 2010. At the moment, however, we are making plans to visit, so please let us know if you would be interested in joining us then. We can be contacted at this email address (Click on the address) admin@HopeCentreBurundi.com

Update So far we have three couples and one other person interested that have expressed an interest in going on the trip.

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 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.
