The purpose of the Burundi Mission is to help the
people of Burundi escape the bonds of poverty and despair to become a
people with contemporary skills that can be used by them to become
self-supporting and have the basic necessities of life.
Take for instance The Batwa people in Burundi. They count for around 1% of the
total population and are among the poorest of the poor there. Traditionally, they used to support themselves by
making pottery and hunting. However, a number of factors changed their
way of life for the worst. There are no more forests for them to hunt in
and the modern way of life has brought Burundian people to use other
utensils for their cooking instead of pots.
The Batwa were landless and use to lead a nomadic
lifestyle. Now,
they find themselves in a very difficult situation; they are confined
in terms of mobility and have no skills with which to make a decent living. Furthermore, very few of them have had any formal education.
We invite you to explore this website to learn more about
