Empowering single girl-mothers: Training initiatives in Burundi
Between April 25th and 27th, 2024, Pax Christi International, in partnership with “Visionary Moms in Action (Horana Iteka)”, organised a 3-day training programme for 20 single girl-mothers in Burundi’s Ruyigi diocese, specifically in the Rusengo parish. A. Dieudonné Serukabuza, PCI Africa Regional Coordinator, was present during these sessions. The training initiative was subsequently replicated in Bujumbura on May 4th and 5th, 2024.
During these comprehensive sessions, participants delved into a range of essential topics including active nonviolence, trauma healing, peace-building, communication skills, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
Thanks to this newfound knowledge and skill set, participants are now equipped to disseminate their learnings among other young people within their respective communities.
Additionally, in May, they will receive financial support to launch their own projects, fostering self-sustainability and facilitating the education of their children.
