* 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.

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 Story

Lydia 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.
