WIDOW PROFILES

widow in burundi

Ndinduruvugo Adela
Case #249

Because widows are traditionally considered to be worth next to nothing in Burundian culture, they are disregarded by their neighbors and find it difficult to provide themselves with even the basic needs: food, clothing, and shelter.

Adela is Batwa (pygmy), a segment of society that is particularly ostracized.
