Through the Youth Running Club, Spring Communities in partnership with We Run We Rise is supporting children and young people not only to run, but to dream, grow, set goals, build confidence, and imagine a future they can work toward.

From Dreaming Big to Building a Home ❤️

For Egide, the Youth Running Club has become more than a place where children learn, run, and grow. It has also been a place where he discovered his own potential.

He learned that he was precious, that he could dream, and that achieving those dreams was possible. For someone living in the aftermath of the Gatumba floods, building a family of his own once seemed almost impossible.

His story reminds us that youth empowerment is not only about what young people learn—it is about what they go on to believe they can achieve.

The Youth Running Club is implemented by Spring Communities with funding from We Run We Rise .

🪞De retour avec “Les Aventures de Gaga & Jojo”, Spring Communities vous présente l’épisode 5 où Gaga nourrit une certaine curiosité sur la transformation de son corps.

Avec beaucoup d’humour, elle essaie même de transformer son apparence grande à sa grande imagination 😅.

Mais qui peut la juger? Que celle ou celui qui ne l’as pas encore fait lui jette la première pierre. 😁

Every child, everywhere, has the right to learn, grow, and build a better future. Education is not a privilege; it is a fundamental right that every child deserves.

From isolation to connection: how a Youth Running Club helped Akimana find his voice

“Before joining the Youth Running Club, my child was always alone. He did not know how to play with other children or talk to them.”

These are the words of Nduwayezua Lea, mother of Akimana Bill Rene Arnaud, who witnessed a remarkable change in her son after he joined the Youth Running Club, implemented by Spring Communities with funding from We Run We Rise .

For Lea, the transformation went far beyond running.

Akimana began connecting with other children, playing football with his friends, responding more confidently when spoken to, and becoming a positive influence among children in his community. He even began teaching his younger siblings what he learned through the club.

The Youth Running Club is about more than physical activity. It creates opportunities for children and young people to build confidence, form friendships, express themselves, develop leadership skills and strengthen their emotional wellbeing.

For children like Akimana, sometimes the first step toward healing is simply having a place where they can run, play, connect and belong.

Together with We Run We Rise, we are creating those spaces - one child, one friendship and one step at a time.

For 10-year-old Sarah*, the conflict in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo changed what childhood looked like.

She was forced to leave her home, while her education was disrupted by displacement. Like thousands of other children who have crossed the border seeking safety, Sarah arrived in Burundi carrying experiences no child should have to face.

Today, at the Busuma refugee site, she has access to a place where she can begin to rebuild a sense of safety, belonging and hope.

Through our Child-Friendly Space, established with the support of UNICEF Burundi, Spring Communities is working to ensure that children are not only protected from harm, but also given opportunities to learn, play, express themselves and build confidence.

In Burundi, children like Gahungu*, are learning how to understand their emotions and know how to stay safe with the help of Spring Communities.

Through the “My Hero Is You” approach, we are creating child-friendly spaces where children can talk about emergencies, recognize and express their emotions, manage fear and stress, and develop positive coping mechanisms.

Together with , Spring Communities is not only keeping children safe from risks; it is also about giving them the knowledge, confidence and emotional support they need to face difficult situations.

Through the “Parent Deal” approach, Spring Communities is working with parents, caregivers and other adults responsible for children to strengthen positive parenting skills and promote children’s psychosocial well-being and protection.

This week, new groups of parents explored “Getting to know each other”, creating space to understand the intervention and share experiences as parents and caregivers.

Together with UNICEF Burundi , we are giving parents and caregivers an opportunity to reflect on the difficulties they face in their parenting roles and the strengths they can draw on to overcome them.

Mothers like Neema, living at the Busuma refugee site, carry the lasting emotional scars of war, facing persistent fear and anxiety while finding the strength to heal and build a better future for their children.

Since 2025, thousands of families have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict in eastern DR Congo, leaving children and caregivers to navigate displacement, uncertainty, and loss.

As a single mother, Neema has found psychosocial support and assistance at our Child-Friendly Space in the Busuma refugee site, supported by UNICEF Burundi . Today, she continues to heal while holding on to a powerful hope: to raise her son in safety and give him a better life.

Together with UNICEF Burundi, Spring Communities continues to support children and families in Busuma by creating safe and stable environments and providing mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS); helping families find strength, restore hope, and move forward.

Every mother deserves support. Every child deserves safety, care, and the opportunity to thrive.

Two weeks ago, Spring Communities had the honor of hosting a workshop in Bujumbura as part of the support mission of the IASC MHPSS Reference Group and the inter-agency deployment to strengthen Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) coordination in Burundi.

Held in a context of growing humanitarian needs driven by refugee influxes, regional insecurity, and preparedness efforts related to Bundibugyo virus disease (BVD), the workshop brought together MHPSS actors, UN agencies, national and international NGOs, and civil society organizations.

The workshop provided a platform to:

🔹 Strengthen national MHPSS coordination.

🔹 Improve information sharing and collaboration.

🔹 Promote the use of international MHPSS standards and guidelines.

We were also pleased to welcome Mr. Josh Lee, Co-Chair of the IASC Reference Group on MHPSS in Emergency Settings, whose visit created an opportunity for meaningful exchanges with members of the Community of Practice, recognition of ongoing efforts, and reflection on ways to improve the coordination and quality of MHPSS interventions in Burundi.

Together, we can strengthen systems of care and ensure that mental health and psychosocial support remain an essential part of humanitarian response.
