The September little by little started today. It will last until this Friday September 16, at 11:59 p.m ET. Eligible online donations up to $50 active GlobalGiving projects are matched at 50%.
Please give your donation week to benefit from this matching opportunity.
Invite your family members and friends to donate for IPB project entitled: “Reconciliation of Refugees Returning from the Exile (49443).
Your donation has improved the Human Right Respect in Burundi and daily life of returnees as it contributed to their trauma healing, the their social cohesion and their economic resilience through Self Help Group approach as a convenient.
The key success stories were for instance::
Divine
Two events wounded me mostly: the loss of my father and the time I passed within the refugee’s camp. When my father was still alive, I could not lack anything I wanted but since he passed away, we started living a difficult life. My studies were negatively affected because sometimes we could not get food. I couldn’t start school the right time because lack of uniform or school materials. Thus, I remember my father because such bad experience could not happen to me before his death.
The second event was the life in camp that I’m not able to express today.
Anyways, I appreciate the teachings given that “after experiencing traumatic event, life must continue”. This is very crucial for someone like me. It encourages me to endure what I went through and plan ahead. From the bottom of my heart, I thank IPB for the teachings spread and his financial partners

My father refused me since he knew that my mother got pregnant. This act pushed my mum to separate and fled until I was born. She finally met my father and lived together as a couple. My father never changed his mind on me. He refused categorically to recognize me as his child. On the other hand, I hate my father strongly. Following the 2015 election crisis, he left us and fled out of the country until today.
Mu mum continue to fight for our survival. We fled ourselves in rural area where the life was so tough. Our effective reintegration with our neighbours needs moral and socioeconomic contribution. Looking at the list of trauma symptoms, I saw what my psychological situation is and what kind of assistance I’m needing.
More thanks to IPB and his donors
Please do donate to Burundi more peaceful
