Burundi

Burundi is a beautiful forested country tin East Africa. However in the midst of this beauty it struggles with endemic malaria, contaminated water that contributes to severe diarrheal disease in young children, and other health challenges. When the Burundi Assemblies of God learned that the new missionary associate was a Registered Nurse they were thrilled. She was immediately asked to give seminars on women’s and children’s health issues. Africa Oasis was excited to be a part of helping to create the seminar content by partnering with the Burundi missionary team. Lessons were developed on on how to help children be healthy, disease prevention and hygiene practices that can decrease illness. Teaching local women through local church contacts increases community knowledge and empowers women to take charge of the health of their families. #LocalLastsLonger
