Catholic Relief Services (CRS) continues to help Burundians regain and retain their dignity by alleviating suffering and poverty and by promoting a culture of peace. Despite the daily dangers of war, as the coordinating agency for emergency assistance in the country, CRS has helped thousands of people with relief items and through the construction of temporary shelters. Our work impacts the two largest ethnic groups in the country, the Hutu and the Tutsi, as well as the severely marginalized Batwa Pygmy minority. As Burundi moves out of civil war and establishes democracy, CRS has begun to shift its focus from relief efforts to development work that accompanies the people of Burundi in the peaceful reconstruction of their country.
