Our mission
Our mission is to provide the most deprived children of Burundi school supplies and uniform they need to attend school enabling them to:
- Get the education they are entitled;
- Dream of a better life, and
- Live simply as children.
To achieve this goal, we rely on the generosity and work of volunteers and donors’ participation.
School supplies are bought locally and uniforms are made in Burundi.
The following amounts are needed to allow a Burundi child to attend school:
- 25$/year / Elementary level
- 40$/year / High school level
This means that a child receives his own school bag which contains:
- A mandatory school uniform
(often his own decent clothing)
- All the necessary school supplies according to the academic level of the student
(notebooks, pencils, geometry set, ruler, etc.)
At university level and for professionnal training, we provide about a sum of 250$/year per student.
To achieve this goal, we rely on the generosity and work of volunteers and donors’ participation.
