Quakers, including some from QPSW, are involved in a number of projects in Burundi. Laura Shipler Chico, QPSW programme manager for East Africa, reports on her recent visit to Burundi.
Burundi is at a crossroads. After more than a decade of civil war that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, a tenuous peace has been reached. In 2010, the next general election offers an opportunity to consolidate that peace. It also carries with it the risk of renewed violence. Quakers are working at local, national, and international levels to help create the conditions necessary for reconciliation and integration.
