About Us

Our journey to sustainable development

Sister Connection was founded in 2006 to help widows rebuild their lives after decades of war. Civil conflict left a generation of widows and orphans without status and without support. We connected them to donors who rebuilt their homes and supported them financially.

Today, Sister Connection serves a new generation of widows. While the memory of war is fading, the economic prospects for widows and their children remain bleak. Our goal has shifted from the immediate needs of charity to a push for self-sufficiency and sustainable development.

With over 30 staff members in Burundi, 4 in the US, 1 in Australia, 12 US Board members, and an assortment of volunteers, Sister Connection has a large number of people dedicated to serving the widows and orphans in Burundi.
