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 A and I am 4 years old. My mother died during my birth. My father gave me to Muhira Children's Home when I was 2 months old. He wasn’t able to give me a place to live. I am very happy to be here. Since last year I am going to kindergarten.

I have 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.
