Burundi

Burundi Women for Peace CC is based in Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi and it convenes people from the indigenous, Christian and Muslim spiritual background. Coming from a war torn country, we were established to support women and children in Agriculture and Fight against HIV and AIDS. This specifically includes mobilization of families on the prevention of transmission of HIV and AIDS from mother to child as well as programs to fight hunger in the communities of Bujumbura and some rural areas. The program actions have helped in increasing awareness about HIV and AIDs transmission and risk reduction in target communities and from our agricultural programs families are fairly able to get produce, both for subsistence and small scale commercial purposes. In all our work, our adopted approach is the use of religious leaders to convince people about the danger of HIV and AIDs and the celebration of the life of every human being through non-discrimination practices based on religion or cultural background. By default, our CC activities reach out to people of diverse faith and indigenous traditions, so we use our diverse faiths to tackle the common problem of poverty and HIV and AIDS which affects us all.
