Burundi Education Fund, Inc. - supporting Basic Education for Burundi Refugee children in Rwanda and Uganda since 2016.

During the major Covid-19 crisis (March-October 2020), we were able to keep 787 refugees from starvation, 534 were children and young adults.

As life comes back to normal, children are back to school. With your help, we will continue to pay their school fees, provide food (100 children at Nakivale Refugee Camp, Uganda) at school, and give access to medical care to both school children and their parents.
