* About Burundi
About Burundi
Burundi is one of the world's poorest nations and is now rebuilding following civil war since 1972.
Burundi-outline-small
Burundi has an estimated population of around 8 million, approximately half of whom are aged 14 or less. The effects of AIDS and cival war has had a significant effect on the demographics of the country.

There is now peace since elections in 2005, but the country still faces the formidable challenges of reviving a shattered economy and of forging national unity with up to 500,000 refugees now returning from camps in Tanzania and Kenya.

So what is Christmas like in Burundi

We have heard people speak about Christmas here in Burundi but haven't seen anything in the shops related to Christmas as we would in the UK. No cards, no Christmas trees and no Christmas lights.

We would love to be here in Burundi over Christmas as we are told that it is completely different without the commercialism of Christmas.

Check out this video clip about Christmas:
