Support Burundian Initiatives
Welcome to Tuvugane
A youth networking platform aimed at advancing contributions towards the development of Burundi and Burundian communities, fostering coexistence, and preserving Burundian culture and the Kirundi language.
Through communication, we believe we can empower each other to reach our full potential. Part of this process is to celebrate each other's accomplishments and encourage one another to continue serving our communities and each other diligently.
To be a platform that empowers Burundian youth to reach their full potential and enables them to witness the development of Burundi as a country and as a people.
We aim to develop a community of Burundian diaspora youth who are equipped with the knowledge and courage to return to, build, invest, and reintegrate in Burundi.
To advance contributions towards the development of Burundi and Burundian communities, foster coexistence, and preserve Burundian culture and the Kirundi language.
