Each week we introduce you to the children of Hope Centre Burundi. We upload a picture of one child and give you their story.
Lydia Irakoze
Lydia's StoryLydia is 5 years old.
In 2005 Lydia's parents were returning home from work when rebels stopped and set fire to the bus that they were travelling in. Both her parents died.
As there were no other relatives some neighbours, who also attend Pastor Leonard's church, called him and asked for his help. The following day he went and collected Lydia.
Until Hope centre is ready, she is now living with Pastor Leonard's friends in Kamenge. Lydia is also in her first year of primary school.
