Gitega

Gitega is situated in the center of Burundi and is the first city BYFC developed a centre. It is the pilot project of all others and once complete will have twelve units of which each house will have eight children and a mum. Each house will operate as a family unit, with parents and children from a variety of age groups. At this stage (2010), we have 29 children from the three different ethnic groups of Burundi, where they grow up together in a reconciliatory community. the kids attend Future Hope School for their education. The site is staffed by a dedicated team who act as godly role models for these young children. International teams and volunteers regularly visit the site, contributing their skills and love to this vibrant community.
