Burundi is called the Heart of Africa. The Heart is Hurting.

Burundi has been called the Heart of Africa. Yet it is often overlooked by the world at large and even Africa as a continent.

"Above all else guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life." Proverbs 4:23

Burundi is an amazing and critical place in Africa filled with wonderful people who need our help because - at present - the heart of Africa is in cardiac distress.

Sister Connection is a Burundian founded ministry, with some assistance from American counterparts, who have been serving the widows and orphans since 2026.

Please consider donating, https://sisterconnection.org/

Additionally, a first aid program has begun to share important "first aid" skills to some widows and orphans sponsored through Sister Connection. I've had the privilege of sharing and equipping some amazing young adults.
