Our Story
“I have a dream”, said a good mate, Pascal. I said what is that dream? He said I want to open a school for the poor children in Bujumbura, BURUNDI.
Why We Exist
In Burundi only about 71% of children go to school. Many drop out of school so that only about half of those that start school finish primary school.
