Burundi has faced numerous challenges, but its people are responding with resilience. MCC is walking with them. Mulanda will tell stories of how MCC's work is helping Burundi recover from a 14-year civil war as well as how the people of Burundi are learning to adapt to the realities of climate change.
Additionally, Mulanda will share about the impact of MCC's peace work in the years following the genocide in Rwanda that tore the country apart a generation ago. Learn how MCC's peacebuilding is helping the country through a season of growth and healing.
Join us in person (no registration required) or online on the MCC Ontario Facebook livestream.
