Burundi - Ruyigi - Two orphans, brother and sister return to their home

Two orphans, brother and sister return to their home that was built by Marguerite Barankitse (known as the 'Angel of Burundi'). During the genocide in 1994, Barankitse, at great personal risk, managed to save 25 orphans, Hutu, Tutsi and Twa and built a home for them. Currently, she has helped more than 10,000 orphans and separated children who can grow up in an "extended adopted family" in security, education and love. Burundi now has many 'child headed households'
