Burundi was ravaged by a 12-year civil war from 1993 until 2005. The nation as a whole remains scarred. Refugees, still in the process of returning to their homeland, face obstacles that include poverty, hunger, HIV/AIDS and inaccessible healthcare.
How to help
In light of the country’s need, Plant with Purpose is working in the Burundian village of Muzye to establish a working economy. The organization seeks to establish sustainable agriculture and equip the people of Muzye with education in business techniques. Visit www.plantwithpurpose.org to further this process.
