Transforming lives in Burundi

Dalo Foundation transforms lives in Burundi by giving children access to education and helping communities become self-reliant through sustainable agriculture. We believe in creating lasting opportunities and a better future for children and communities.

Amina’s journey back to school

Amina, a 10-year-old girl from rural Burundi, had to drop out of school because her family couldn’t afford uniforms or books. Through Dalo Foundation’s Back-to-School Support, Amina received school supplies, a uniform, and mentoring. Today, she is thriving in her classes, dreams of becoming a teacher, and has inspired her younger siblings to stay in school.

Building a sustainable garden for the Niyonzima family

The Niyonzima family struggled with food insecurity, often going days without enough to eat. With Dalo Foundation’s Sustainable Agriculture Program, they received seeds, training, and tools to grow vegetables and beans. Within months, their harvest improved nutrition, generated extra income from selling surplus crops, and strengthened their confidence and independence.

By the numbers

Here's a snapshot of our impact:

  • Children Supported: 80 children have received school supplies, uniforms, and educational support.
  • School Attendance: Projects have helped increase school attendance in participating communities as we managed to keep 80 children in School.
  • Agriculture Impact: Families in our sustainable agriculture programs have seen food production increase by up to 50%, improving nutrition and income.
  • Community Reach: More than 1,000 community members have benefited from workshops and training programs.

"Dalo Foundation doesn’t just give help; it builds opportunity, independence, and hope."
