Volunteer Work Burundi

Some countries are described as where "east meets west"; in similar terms Burundi could be described as "doesn't really meet anyone". Tucked away in central Africa, this small country of 11.53 million people is one of the poorest in the world and has yet to embrace that wider world. As such, there is a limited volunteer work sector there; it simply hasn't been engaged in any meaningful way and those who do visit are often viewed disdainfully and certainly suspiciously. Please note that many volunteer opportunities in Burundi were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic which led to the permanent closure of some volunteer opportunities and restrictions on others. Hopefully things are now beginning to return to normal. If you run or know of a volunteer work project in Burundi let us know by contacting us here. We look forward to hearing from you!
