On September 10, 2025, RECOVI (Réveil Communautaire d’Assistance aux victimes), with the sponsorship of the RECOVI branch in Sweden, distributed school materials and uniforms to ten orphaned children from the village of Nyabitaka, located in the Buvyuko zone of Bubanza commune, and to 50 vulnerable children from the Ntahangwa commune, Maramvya zone in Bujumbura province.
These children were selected to be supported and monitored until the completion of their education. Previously, the association had provided goats to vulnerable families in these communities.
This time, 60 vulnerable school-aged children were chosen to benefit from educational support, enabling them to continue their studies until completion.
This initiative falls under the program entitled:
“Assistance Program for Education of Vulnerable Children in Burundi (APEV).”
It is a program that supports the most vulnerable children by sharing with their parents (who have raised them since an early age) the burden of education, while RECOVI takes full commitment to support the child from primary school until the completion of general secondary or post-basic education.
In their addresses to the children, the Vice President of RECOVI at the national level and the representatives of RECOVI in the communes of Bubanza and Bujumbura encouraged them to study with determination, reminding them that their country loves them and counts on them for the future. They also urged them to use the school supplies responsibly and to work hard in order to honor the association.
