Responding to the cries of the most vulnerable patients hospitalized in public hospitals-Local NGO

01/09/2026

Nacham Africa’s Nutrition Program operates in five public hospitals across Burundi, providing nutritious meals to patients who need support.

More than 90% of the patients we support come from remote areas and have limited financial resources. They often travel long distances to access medical care. Being admitted to the hospital can also mean being far away from home and without reliable access to food.

Beyond simply satisfying hunger, our meals are designed to provide the essential nutrients patients need, supporting their well-being during their hospital stay and recovery.

Since the launch of the program

450,000+ meals have been served and
11,000+ patients supported

One meal at a time, we are working to improve the well-being of patients across Burundi.

Nacham Africa’s nutrition program supports marginalized patients across five public hospitals in Burundi. Prince Louis Rwagasore Clinic was the first hospital to partner with Nacham Africa, marking the beginning of a collaboration that continues to improve patients’ well-being through access to nutritious meals.

Jeanne Harerimana, Head of the Social Services Department at Prince Louis Rwagasore Clinic, shares her perspective on the impact and the difference this work has made in the lives of patients.

Nacham Africa had the honour of welcoming Mr. Luis Schneider, from the German Embassy in Burundi🇩🇪🇧🇮, during a visit to our organization.
The visit provided a valuable opportunity to present NACHAM AFRICA, introduce our work and vision, and engage in a constructive exchange about opportunities for collaboration.

Nacham Africa sincerely appreciates the German Embassy's interest and engagement. We look forward to building on this important exchange and exploring opportunities for collaboration.

My name is Jeanine Nshimirimana.

I met Nacham Africa at Prince Louis Rwagasore Clinic while I was caring for my, then sick, son. They came to our bed and asked how we were doing. I told them about my struggles. As a daily-wage farmer, I could not afford food because I could not leave my son alone in the hospital to go and work.

They told me not to worry and to focus on my son’s recovery. They assured me that they would provide us with food. Nacham Africa provided nutritious meals for my child throughout his hospital stay.

Not long after that, my son recovered and we were able to leave the hospital.

Some time later, Nacham Africa started farming, and they called me to offer me a job as a farm worker. Today, I have a stable source of income.

The impact has been felt in two ways: I saw the difference Nacham Africa’s support made in my child’s recovery, and I was later given an opportunity for stable employment.

This support has gone beyond simply helping us through a difficult time. Nacham Africa gave me the opportunity to rebuild my life and support my family with dignity.

Nacham Africa was honored to be invited by the newly appointed Minister of Health, Dr. Fidèle NKEZABAHIZI, for a meeting with him and the Director General of the Prevention and Health Security Program at the Ministry of Health, Dr. Oscar NTIHABOSE. The meeting provided an important opportunity to present Nacham Africa’s work, highlighting the tangible impact our activities continue to make in improving nutrition and the well-being of vulnerable patients in public hospitals.

During the meeting, our Executive Director, Armand IJIMBERE, shared Nacham Africa’s vision of establishing an industrial kitchen to scale our nutrition program and reach even more hospitals. This initiative represents a significant step toward expanding sustainable nutrition solutions and strengthening community health.

The Minister expressed his appreciation for the meaningful impact Nacham Africa is making in communities and reaffirmed the Ministry of Health’s commitment to supporting the industrial kitchen initiative. Both parties also discussed opportunities for closer collaboration to advance shared health and nutrition security goals and achieve even greater impact. We sincerely thank the Ministry of Health for the invitation, the warm reception, and its commitment to working alongside partners dedicated to improving the health and well-being of our communities.

From patient to partner.

In 2020, Marie Claire survived a road accident while seven months pregnant. During her year-long hospitalization, Nacham Africa stood by her side, providing nutritious meals, medical support, and helping her daughter, who was born with a disability, access specialized care.

After her recovery, Marie Claire joined our Nje mu Bandi incubation center, where she received business training.

Today, she is no longer a beneficiary, she is one of Nacham Africa's suppliers, helping provide nutritious meals to patients facing the same challenges she once experienced.

Her story is a powerful reminder that with the right support, recovery can become resilience, and resilience can create opportunities to uplift others.

Watch Marie Claire share her journey of hope, determination, and transformation.

It was a privilege for our Executive Director Armand Ijimbere to visit Blood:Water office in Nairobi this week.

We are grateful for the opportunity to learn more about Bloodwater’s inspiring work and the people behind it. It was also an opportunity to share the story of Nacham Africa, the impact we are making in our communities, and to discuss possibilities for future collaboration.

We deeply appreciate the warm welcome and the enriching conversations. We look forward to building stronger partnerships that bring hope, health, and lasting change to the communities we serve.

We were honored to have Nacham Africa represented at Segal Family Foundation 2026 in Nairobi, Kenya, by our Executive Director, Armand IJIMBERE .

The event brought together an incredible community of change makers, philanthropists, nonprofit leaders, and partners who share a common belief: that Africa’s future will be shaped by bold ideas, courageous leadership, and strong partnerships.

For Nacham Africa, this gathering was more than an opportunity to connect,it was a moment to reflect with profound gratitude.

As the Segal Family Foundation celebrates 20 years of impact, we proudly celebrate alongside them. They were the first Foundation to believe in our founder’s vision at a time when it was little more than what many would have called a crazy idea. Before there were results, before there was recognition, before others could see the possibility, Segal Family Foundation saw potential. They chose to believe, to trust, and to invest.

That first act of belief helped turn a bold vision into tangible impact.

Today, thousands of people have been reached and supported through Nacham Africa’s work, and we continue to scale our impact with the same purpose that inspired us from the very beginning. None of this journey would have been possible without partners who had the courage to believe first.

To the Segal Family Foundation, thank you for 20 years of championing African visionaries.

Here’s to the next beat, o bold leadership, trusted partnerships, and an even greater impact for the communities we serve.

Nacham Africa was pleased to welcome representatives from burundikids schweiz Stiftung, one of our partners, for a friendly visit aimed at strengthening our collaboration and witnessing the impact of our work firsthand.

The visit began with a warm welcome from Nacham Africa’s Executive Director, followed by a presentation from the Programs Director highlighting the organization's achievements and ongoing initiatives. The delegation then toured our cultivation site, the hospital kitchen and met beneficiaries who shared to them personal testimonies about how the nutrition program has supported them during their recovery

This partnership aims to support marginalized patients at Kabezi District Hospital by ensuring they have access to nutritious, balanced meals during their hospitalization. Since the partnership began, more than 47100 meals have been served to patients with limited financial means, many of whom come from remote communities and receive little or no family support due to the distance and cost of travel.

The visit reaffirmed our shared commitment to restoring dignity, improving recovery, and ensuring that no patient is left behind.
