Following
years of warfare, this impoverished nation is now
dependent on foreign aid with over half of all children
suffering from stunted growth due to poor diet and
secondary school education rates are as low as 8% due to a lack of qualified
teachers and adequate supplies. Hardly surprising then that the World Happiness Report (2018) positioned the nation as the world's least happy with a rank of 156. Child sponsor programs in Burundi focus on working with AIDS and war orphans,
preventative heath care, maintaining and developing safe water supplies,
agriculture development so families can feed their children freeing them from
child labour so they can attend school and helping displaced people return to
their homes, many of which require rebuilding. You can help when you sponsor a
child in Burundi.
