New Generation’s outreach activities focus on providing immediate support to children on the streets and at their centre. They offer food, medical care and educational assistance, helping children reintegrate into education or other opportunities.

The ‘Road to School’ programme helps children return to school with the necessary supplies and guidance. For young women working as domestic workers, New Generation offers a programme that helps them understand their rights, find safer work, and improve their living conditions.

Regular meetings equip them to seek better opportunities and avoid further exploitation. Additionally, New Generation runs an entrepreneurship programme, empowering young women to develop skills, start small businesses, and become financially independent, providing them with a path to a brighter future.

Through youth clubs and workshops, New Generation encourages leadership and active participation, helping young people become advocates for change in their communities, especially in a country facing political and ethnic tensions. Despite economic challenges, New Generation remains committed to addressing both immediate and long-term needs, ensuring no child or young woman is left behind in their journey to a better life.

As one young woman who benefited from the programme shares,

“I’m grateful for New Generation, as I was given an opportunity to go to school. I want to pursue banking and insurance at University and wish to work in the same field. I want to tell young girls who are still on the streets not to lose hope. Things can get better at any point in your life.” A participant in New Generation Programmes

Amos Trust supports New Generation’s work with vulnerable children and young women in Burundi. This includes providing essential services such as food and medical care to children living on the streets.

We also support their programme for young women working as domestic workers, offering a safe space to learn about their rights, find safer employment, or start businesses.
