I have been living in Muhira, A Home for Children with my mother since March 2015. Before we lived here, my mother and I lived on the street and we had to beg. I only have one aunt and she couldn't help us. Since we live here, we are happy. I go to elementary school and my mother is happy because we are cared for and we have a home now. My mother has successfully finished secondary school and started university.

I am P and I am 11 years old. 2017 my Father has kicked me out of my home. My Mother has done nothing against it. Here in Muhira I found a home and a secure place to grow up. I can visit school and I have a change for a better future. I am so thankful to live here.

I lived in Muhira for many years. My father died many years ago and my mother was too poor to look after me and my 2 brothers. Since October 2018 I am studying nursing in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Hopefully in two years I will graduate and then I want to work as a nurse here in Burundi.

My mother remarried when I was young and the new husband didn't want me. Since my accident (I fell into a deep well) as a toddler, I am mentally handicapped. That's why I've been living here for many years. I love to joke, dance and sing.

My mother passed away during her labour with me. My Father passed away short time after her. My Brother and I have been living some month in the house from one aunty and some month in a house from someone else. We were depend on grace from people to get shelter. The only heritage we had was a small peace of land from our parents. One day we have seen one uncle has taken our land, he was very jealous to us. That he killed my brother infront of my eyes. I ran away and tried to find shelter somewhere else because i had fear i will be the next. Last year, by gods grace, i met a Pastor and he introduced me to Edmond and Janine. Since this time i have a secure place and i can continue my school. My dream is one day to have a diploma and to live a better life.
