Burundi: How are we helping?
|
Cord began working with the Burundian refugees in Tanzania in 1996. Now, as they return home, we are working to help them start afresh. Our Country office in the capital Bujumbura supports a field office in Rutana Province, where we are concentrating on helping the returning refugees. Cord plan to spend the next four years supporting the returning refugees across the region, to enable them to reduce their poverty, and to get their lives back to normal. Critically, to harness their chances of a peaceable future after years of disruption and suffering. Our first project began in August 2005, and involved the Commune of Giharo in renovating and restoring 19km of road, and in building two bridges, which will vastly improve access to the homesteads and the local market. |
