Kinindo Orphanage

(CRIB)

The CRIB Orphanage began its activities during the 1993 war. ARM had already started its activities informally. She brought together babies who were abandoned by their parents. This orphanage welcomed up to 117 orphaned children. Now it has a staff of 47 children, who remain in the orphanage, the others having had adoptive parents inside or outside the country. The activities of this orphanage are carried out in Bujumbura Mairie with the support of collections from certain Churches in England through Mrs. Christine Chapman, responsible for this center since 1993. It has a permanent national staff of 8 people, 1 expatriate and 2 volunteers. Other volunteer expatriates often assist for short periods (less than 6 months). But the recent death in 2021 of Christine Chapman risks having a negative impact on the mobilization of funds for this orphanage for which she had given a lot of effort for its creation and growth.
