UNICEF in Burundi
For more than 60 years, UNICEF has remained steadfast in its mission to protect and enhance the rights of children in Burundi, with a particular focus on reaching the most vulnerable among them. Our comprehensive approach aims to ensure that no child is left behind in the pursuit of survival, health, and overall well-being.
For every child, all rights.
UNICEF’s work in Burundi
A Strategic Blueprint: The 2024-2027 Country Programme
United in purpose, UNICEF collaborates intimately with the Burundian Government, donors, non-profits, and global organizations to transform lives. The focus? Ensuring every child—particularly those marginalized or vulnerable—doesn't just survive but thrives. This encompasses not just basic survival but also education, safety, and the tools to fulfill their innate potential.
A Lifecycle Approach to Child Welfare
We zero in on crucial life stages, delivering tailored interventions across multiple sectors:
- Health and Nutrition: More than just survival, we're about holistic well-being.
- Water, Hygiene, and Sanitation: Fundamental to life, and fundamental to us.
- Learning and Skills: A cornerstone for future leaders and thinkers.
- Child Protection: Beyond physical safety—emotional and psychological well-being
- Social Policy: Crafting policies that put children first, always.
