At the heart of our work in Burundi were our orphans. We facilitated their transition from an old orphanage—where physical conditions were severely inadequate and serious hygiene and safety concerns persisted—to a newly completed, 100-capacity orphanage built through the dedicated efforts of our association.
-
In their new home, children now benefit from spacious sleeping quarters, study rooms, and safe play areas designed to support their growth and development.
-
This transformation represents far more than a change of buildings; it is a monumental step toward raising a generation that is healthier, safer, and filled with hope.

A New Spiritual Center for the Community: Grand Opening of the Mosque
As the Mavi Marmara Association, we proudly inaugurated a new mosque in Burundi where our Muslim brothers and sisters can perform their prayers in peace and strengthen their sense of unity and solidarity.
-
This mosque is not only a place of worship, but also a center of learning where children in the region can receive their foundational religious education, as well as a hub of brotherhood and community gathering.
-
Opened with heartfelt prayers, our mosque will stand as a vital pillar of spiritual life in Burundi, nurturing faith, knowledge, and togetherness for generations to come.

A Precious Gift as Life Itself: Two New Water Wells
In Burundi, where access to clean water remains one of the greatest daily struggles for survival, we inaugurated two new water wells with the generous support of our donors.
-
These newly constructed wells will ease the burden of women and children who previously had to walk miles to carry water, while significantly reducing the risk of waterborne diseases in the region.
-
Every drop now flowing from these wells has become a source of life—delivered to the people of Burundi through the compassion and solidarity of Mavi Marmara.

Healthcare Outreach Initiative: Circumcision Program for 300 Children
We conducted a comprehensive health screening to address the urgent need for circumcision, which posed significant risks due to limited medical facilities and inadequate hygiene in the region.
-
Under the guidance of our expert medical teams, the circumcision procedures of 300 children were successfully completed with full adherence to sterilization and safety protocols. Post-operative care kits were provided to families, ensuring careful follow-up and support throughout the recovery process.

Sharing at the Table, Blessings in Every Home
To bring the spirit of sharing during Ramadan to every home, our teams reached even the most remote corners of Burundi:
-
Iftar and Food Distribution: Prayers were offered together at a fellowship table prepared for 350 people. In addition, 400 food packages—each covering a family’s essential needs for an entire month—were delivered door-to-door to families in need.
-
Zakat Contributions: We personally and carefully delivered the zakat donations of our supporters to 300 beneficiaries, providing vital financial support ahead of the holiday.
