Our work in Africa

in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Burundi, Aspire for Humanity Initiatives is actively partnering with local communities and stakeholders to empower youth and steer them away from dangerous paths, such as joining gangs or armed groups. through targeted programs, we are helping to build stronger, healthier futures for the next generation.

we believe that in order to treat the root cause of poverty and wars which lead to population displacement, a society, especially one that has undergone such adversity as the people of Burundi and DR Congo, must be supported, with respect to all aspects of human life and needs for a sustainable development.
