Project Update: Orphanage Accommodation – Project #64188

We are pleased to share an update on the progress of the Orphanage Accommodation Project (#64188).

So far, important steps have been taken toward improving accommodation for the children. Basic preparation work has been done, and the project is moving forward steadily despite limited resources. Our goal remains to provide a safe, clean, and dignified living environment for all the children under our care.

However, the project is not yet complete, and we are currently facing significant challenges due to funding limitations. One of our most urgent needs is the purchase of beds and mattresses for 300 children, as many are still sleeping on the floor or sharing inadequate bedding. In addition to beds and mattresses, we also require support for other essential needs such as bedding materials, storage, basic furniture, and hygiene supplies to ensure proper living conditions.

To successfully complete this project and meet acceptable standards of care, additional financial and material support is urgently needed. Any contribution—financial assistance, materials, or partnerships—will make a meaningful difference in the lives of these children.

We are deeply grateful for the support received so far and kindly ask for continued assistance to help us complete this important project. Together, we can ensure that every child has a safe place to sleep and a healthier environment to grow and thrive.

Thank you for standing with us and supporting the future of these kids.

1. Introduction

This project was initiated to address the urgent need for safe and sustainable accommodation for orphans in Burundi. Many children in the country are left without parental care due to poverty, conflict, or health-related challenges. The aim was to improve living conditions, ensure safety, and provide a nurturing environment that supports education and well-being.

2. Project Objectives

To construct and/or renovate orphanage facilities that provide secure and hygienic housing.

To increase the capacity of existing orphanages to accommodate more children.

To improve access to basic services such as clean water, sanitation, electricity, and healthcare.

To create a child-friendly environment that fosters growth, education, and emotional support.

3. Activities Undertaken

Assessment Phase: A needs assessment was conducted in collaboration with local communities, orphanage managers, and government officials.

Construction & Renovation: Dormitories, kitchens, classrooms, and sanitary facilities were either built or upgraded.

Furnishing: Beds, mattresses, desks, and storage facilities were provided to ensure comfort and functionality.

Training & Capacity Building: Staff received training in child protection, health, and psychosocial care.

Community Engagement: Local communities were involved to promote ownership and long-term sustainability of the facilities.
