In 1962, the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary started a health center, located in Mutumba in the community of Kabezi, 30 km from the city of Bujumbura. This is a very poor rural area where many people have no access to electricity and running water. This center has been providing uninterrupted health and social services for 62 years, even during the wars of the 1970s and 1990s. The health center consists of three areas: an outpatient area, a hospitalization area – with three 10-bed wards for men, women, and a third for children – and a separate maternity building. There is no surgery service yet.
Remodeling and new construction project of the hospitalization building
In consecutive phases in the medium term, the remodeling of the isolation building for infectious diseases, the construction of rooms for four nurses and the reconstruction of the outdoor kitchen and a dining room for the relatives who care for the patients are planned.
We help because we believe. Help with us!
As the mission center of the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary, we support many projects of our community in every continent. Our sisters in the local areas have close and direct contact with the people. With your help, we can make an even greater difference than we have been able to in the past. Concrete, transparent, loving.
