Burundi emergency – update

Thank you so much to all those who so quickly responded to this emergency appeal. It has been very heart-warming. Recovery and rehousing will be a long haul but we hope that out of this disaster there will be long-term benefits as Donna and her team seek to find more sustainable solutions. Here is an update from Donna.
Crisis Appeal – Update No.1

Thank you so much for the outpouring of generosity towards our farming trainees and their families whose homes flooded and collapsed this week. Your donations have already enabled us to rent safer homes for all the families left homeless. Tonight none of them will need to sleep out in the open.

Scores of other families still need to relocate to safer houses as theirs have been badly damaged by the recent storms. We are working with community leaders to help every family to relocate as soon as possible as they are currently at very high risk the next time there’s a storm or heavy rain. This level of support would not have been possible had it not been for the amazing response to our appeal. Thank you so much. We will update you further in the coming days.

The photos show just a few of the many who have been helped so far. Thank you again for all your generosity and support.
So if you still wish to contribute that would be extremely valuable and much appreciated. You can do so on the Hope for Tomorrow Global website.
Thank you.
