about us

Restoration Burundi (RESTOBU) is a Christian organization founded in 2014 by young Christians from various denominations under the leadership of Gratien Nibigira. We are committed to education for the peaceful resolution of recurring conflicts. In peace education, historically, Burundi has been characterized by cyclical violence, and the lesson learned is that youth are often victims of manipulation. RESTOBU aims to change this cycle by defying manipulators through peace clubs where students exchange ideas and promote biblical values and peace to positively influence society.

We also promote legal awareness through the Araturaba radio program and provide legal aid to vulnerable groups, including prisoners. RESTOBU supports socio-economic development through community peace clubs, farming, small businesses, adult literacy, and access to healthcare.

Our work focuses on schools, prisons, and vulnerable communities, under two main programs: Peace and Justice and the Socio-Economic Program.

Now, I can trade and get little to eat.” Frankly, I thank you much for my capital you have boosted. I am grateful. God bless you.”
