AAfrican women and youth are the strength and hope of our continent. The call from the First Lady, Angeline Ndayishimiye, reminds us that peace, security, and development cannot be achieved without the active participation of women and young people.
Women and youth must believe in their ability to create change. They should transform their mindset, develop innovative ideas, build projects that improve their lives and communities, and learn to work together with unity and determination.

Africa’s future depends on citizens who choose cooperation over division, action over waiting, and solutions over problems. Every young person and every woman has a role to play in building a peaceful, united, and prosperous Africa.
Let us stand together, support one another, and use our talents, creativity, and courage to create a better future for our continent. The change we want to see in Africa begins with us.

Acting Together to Honor Nelson Mandela’s Legacy in Burundi
AFFVBG-Burundi proudly joined the global celebration of International Nelson Mandela Day, honoring the life and legacy of one of the world’s greatest champions of peace, justice, and humanity.

On July 25, Burundi came together to celebrate the values of Nelson Mandela, affectionately known as “Madiba.” This day was more than a commemoration—it was a powerful demonstration of unity, compassion, and community action.

Together with residents of the Mukaza and Ntahangwa communes, local authorities, the Ambassador of South Africa, members of the diplomatic community, and United Nations agencies, we transformed Mandela’s message of service into meaningful action.

Through collective efforts, we contributed to building a better community by focusing on two key areas:

🌿 Environmental protection: Cleaning the shores of Lake Tanganyika to promote a cleaner and healthier environment.

📚 Education support: Renovating Maramvya II Fundamental School and providing school desks to help create a better learning environment for students.
Nelson Mandela’s legacy teaches us that every person has the power to make a difference. Every act of kindness, every moment of service, and every contribution toward a better society keeps alive his vision of peace, equality, and solidarity.
Let us continue to work together, serve our communities, and inspire positive change.

Together, we can build a brighter future.

Through our work in Burundi, we are committed to:
Raising community awareness on gender-based violence;
Supporting survivors and strengthening protection mechanisms;

Fondatrice et Représentante légale de l’Association des Femmes et des Filles pour la Lutte contre les Violences Basées sur le Genre AFFVBG-Burundi , j’ai eu l’honneur de participer à une session de formation et d’être panéliste lors d’un échange consacré au thème : « Le dialogue comme puissant outil de guérison et de réconciliation ».

À travers un ciné-débat organisé dans le cadre des 20 ans du Fonds des Nations Unies pour la consolidation de la paix (), les participants et partenaires ont engagé une réflexion riche et constructive sur les moyens de surmonter les traumatismes liés aux conflits, tout en renforçant la cohésion sociale.

Les échanges ont mis en lumière l’importance du dialogue intercommunautaire, de l’écoute active et de la participation inclusive comme leviers essentiels pour bâtir une paix durable. Les témoignages partagés ont rappelé que la guérison collective passe également par la reconnaissance des souffrances passées et la volonté commune de reconstruire la confiance.

Cette initiative a constitué un espace privilégié de rencontre, d’apprentissage et de dialogue entre acteurs engagés pour la paix, contribuant ainsi au renforcement de la résilience des communautés au Burundi.

Convaincue que la paix durable se construit par la parole, l’écoute et l’action collective, je reste engagée aux côtés des communautés pour promouvoir la cohésion sociale et la lutte contre les violences basées sur le genre.
