More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Many ordinary Burundians had the courage to say ‘no’ to the cycles of ethnic violence. In April 2004, 200 of these "Heroes" were invited by Search for Common Ground to a historic Heroes Summit. The main recommendation of these courageous Burundians was to establish an association of Heroes in Burundi and the Great Lakes region. This association will enable them to continue to highlight these positive examples of humanity, and network with other peacebuiders in the Great Lakes region.

Activities

SFCG will assist Heroes in creating an association that will engage in peacebuilding and reconciliation activities around Burundi. The association will also make trips to Rwanda and Congo to reach out to other Heroes and explore regional activities.
