Burundi is a small nation in East-Central Africa. Its first democratically elected president was assassinated in October 1993. Since then, 200,000 Burundians have perished in widespread intense ethnic violence between Hutu and Tutsi factions. Hundreds of thousands have been internally displaced and have become refugees in neighbouring countries.

Children in Burundi are at constant risk.The fear of violent outbreaks in and around their communities never stops. Many children, having been displaced from the conflcit and ongoing clashes, have been separated from their families and friends. Social services and other basic state operations have come to a stand-still. Protection for children, especially from different forms of exploitaiton, are non-existent.

GRT are on the ground. Their projects are designed to deliver protection, psychosocial support and education to children inside Burundi. Their work is to create a safe and supportive environment that provides the space where children can process their traumatic experiences, rebuild their confidence and contribute towards a better future—both for themselves and their communities.
