BUSIGA, BURUNDI
He stands a little wary of the strangers arriving in his community of Busiga, Burundi. The red shirt is the only one he has. His entire family lives in a four foot high by 5 foot wide house of sticks and thatch. School is not considered in this village, neither is a bath as the water source is a long way away and is only carried into drink or water a crop. In this village infant mortality is high. The averages life span is less than 40 years. Life is hard! This little boy, like the rest, is very small – a victim of severe malnutrition and starvation. There is simply not enough access to food to be grown or received. Javesca Feeds is partnering with Harvest Outreach to bring sustainable help in villages like these. You can make it possible. Thank you for your support.
