our impact
Recently, Ines and Jeremy came to the Village Health Works clinic for a prenatal visit. We sat down with the couple to learn more about their family and their decision to come to the clinic together, sharing some smiles and laughter along the way.

Village Health Works focuses first on treating illness through primary health care services, then uses its unmatched community engagement to implement programs in sustainable agriculture, education, and economic development.
Become one of our greatest champions.
There are many ways we can work together to help improve the lives of Burundi's most vulnerable people. As a Global Villager, you can ensure that the communities Village Health Works works with will continue to have access to quality health services, life-altering economic empowerment programs and so much more each and every month.
BURUNDI
Burundi is a small country in the heart of the Great Lakes Region of East Africa. The majority of the population lives in rural areas and relies on subsistence farming to survive. Due to a prolonged civil war between 1993 and 2006, Burundi has experienced very slow development and is plagued by poor health outcomes, a failing education system and weak infrastructure.
