Humanitarian assistance
Emergency and relief support for vulnerable families, orphans, widows and elderly people: food, clothing and basic household supplies.
Why it matters
Poverty, unemployment and social hardship leave many families in Burundi unable to meet their most basic needs. This programme responds to the most urgent of those needs with life-saving assistance that restores dignity and hope.
Our approach
We work with local communities, leaders and families to identify the most vulnerable households, then deliver timely, targeted support. The work is community-driven and transparent, and gives priority to orphans, widows, elderly women and families facing extreme hardship.
