San Diego, California-based nonprofit Burundi Friends International (BFI) was founded in 2007 by Burundi native Jeanine Niyonzima-Aroian. As a 501(c)(3) charity, it aims to reduce poverty in Burundi by building capacity in three areas: education, healthcare, and self-sustaining enterprise opportunities. BFI operates as a small organization that seeks to be a voice for Burundian communities, representing their needs and connecting them with assistance to foster greater stability. Its work sits within the humanitarian development space, focusing on strengthening education, health services, and locally led economic initiatives in Burundi.
