PRESIDENT OF BURUNDI EMPOWER THROUGH EDUCATION

H.E. President Pierre Nkurunziza Teaching The People of Burundi

President Pierre Nkurunziza, the President of the Republic of Burundi, believes that to empower a nation you must education the people. So within his 9-year tenure as the President of the Republic of Burundi, he has encouraged the building of over 2,500 schools around the country. In the first 50 years of independence the country built 1,800 schools. This president believes in action and as a result of the Community Works Day incentive, the people are aggressively building schools in their communities. This has been a great unifier of the two tribes having long-standing conflict, the Hutu and the Tutsi. Working together to build their nation is making a difference.

Ambassador Clyde Rivers said, “To watch a people build a nation with their own hands, one brick at a time, is an outstanding and effective model for transformation.”

This is the New Burundi!
