Solidarité Protestante / Protestantse Solidaritiet

This month’s project will be dedicated to Solidarité Protestante’s campaign in Burundi helping to improve living conditions for thousands of children who have lost one or both parents to AIDS. Many have dropped out of school and are suffering from malnutrition. Some are living with a parent that is still alive, but very ill. Others are taken in by another family member. Most are living in extreme poverty, struggling to survive.

Solidarité Protestante is partnering with local organizations: African Revival Ministries (ARM)  and Communauté des Eglises de Pentecote au Burundi (CEPBU) to provide much needed care. Our donations will help with the following:

• Provide new uniforms and school supplies enabling the most vulnerable children to return to school without feeling self-conscious
• Health classes including essential sexual education, and also Life Skills classes
• Counseling sessions to open up dialogue between the parents and their children, breaking the silence around HIV
• Academic and psychological support throughout the year
• Support of the families in their struggle against stigma

To Quote Solidarité Protestante :

“Let’s give them the light of education, the warmth of solidarity and the hope of a better future.”

We hope you will consider making a donation.
