SADC, the relief and development arm of the Anglican Church of Burundi, and Mothers’ Union work together to help women build safer, healthier lives. Survivors of violence receive access to medical care, counseling and legal support. At the same time, we support SADC’s presence in national-level advocacy forums on violence against women, HIV/AIDS, family planning and other issues.
Through CMS-Africa and Mothers’ Union, women and youth access financial literacy training and micro-loans to strengthen their families’ futures.
Our partnership with SADC focuses on helping farmers protect their land and improve food security. As part of this training, farmers learn about composting, improved crop varieties, tree nurseries and other practices that enrich their livelihoods and the environment.
Since 2013, nearly 4.7 million trees have been planted across Burundi. Savings with Education (SwE) groups are also helping families prepare for and invest in their futures.
