New Generation Café

we have been working at the centre to create a small café on site

The idea for the café is that it creates a sustainable income so that we can feed the children on a daily basis. People will not only pay for food and drink for the themselves, but at the same time, pay for a meal for a child. We have on average 30 street children who come to the centre, and it costs just $1 per child per day to give them a decent meal.

New Generation has had four volunteers

Over the last couple of months New Generation has had four volunteers, Andy, Andy, Rachel and Bex, from our UK .

They have been helping us with our programmes for street children, and have been learning more about the different work we do here at New Generation.


Last month, we all travelled up to Muyinga, in the north of Burundi, where we are in the process of building a village for some of the children to live, who are attending school. The first house is near completion, and we all did some of the work to try and get it finished as soon as possible.


Once it is completed, at least eight children will live there, as well as an older boy from New Generation, to look after them.

The dream is to create a village and farming area that is self-sustaining, where the children can learn to look after themselves, and be in community with people from all different ethnic backgrounds. We want this village to be a symbol of hope for the communities around it, showing that Burundi has a positive future and that people can work together.


Our aim is to build five houses before the end of 2012.

street children village

for over 10 years, our association New Generation has always paid rent for homes for orphans from the streets.
Lately some of the houses were close by lack of funding, this has been the most difficult ti,e in the history of our organization. that's the reason we decided to build homes for those children in a village that belong to New Generation.

after obtaining land to build and in partnership with Street Action UK, a first home is in construction, we still need to build more houses, if you wish to support this important project, you can give by clicking this link: http://www.justgiving.com/NewGenerationVillage
