Burundi - Ruyigi - An orphan of Burundi's ethnic conflict, stands in the door of her house built by Marguerite Barankitse

An orphan of Burundi's ethnic conflict, stands in the door of her house built by Marguerite Barankitse (known as the 'Angel of Burundi') in 1994. During the genocide, 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'
