Burundi
Since 1984, Terre des hommes (Tdh) has been present in Burundi and focuses its efforts on three areas of activity: community protection, restorative justice and humanitarian response. The crisis triggered in 2015 by the challenge to the former president's third term in office has had humanitarian and economic consequences. The majority of the population lives below the poverty line. Children are exposed to all kinds of violence. We are working with the authorities and communities to improve respect for the rights and protection of children.
