Why We Exist
We exist to bring Christ-centered hope and transformation to children, families, and communities in Burundi.
-
Jesus Christ is at the center of our ministry. We trust Him to bring lasting hope, healing, and transformation to children, families, and communities.
-
Every child is created in God’s image and deserves to be treated with dignity—with love, protection, nurturing care, and opportunities to thrive.
-
We work alongside families and communities, building on their strengths and honoring their essential role in children’s lives. Together, we create nurturing environments where children and families can flourish.
-
We serve with honesty, accountability, and care. We responsibly manage the resources entrusted to us and pursue excellence in our work.
-
We lead from who we are, not only from what we know or what we know how to do. Rooted in Christ, our leadership flows from character, humility, and a commitment to serve others, restore hope, and strengthen communities.
Our Core Values
Our Statement of Faith
-
We believe the Bible to be the inspired and the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
-
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present rule as Head of the Church, and in His personal return in power and glory.
-
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
-
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
-
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, gender, and class difference.
Our Team
One team. One mission. Lasting hope. Together, we serve children and families with the love of Christ, helping every child thrive.
