My story

In Burundi, Aline Nibogora was pushed to the brink by poverty. She suffered abuse by her violent husband and was forced to flee her home. Separated from her children she had to sleep on the streets. But Aline pushed back harder.

With Christian Aid funded small business training, she kickstarted a vital income  for her and her children.

Working together at St Columba's we can help ensure more like Aline to get the skills and knowledge to enable families to plan for a better future that they will build together.
