BUNTU FOUNDATION RECEIVED BROADCASTING EQUIPMENT FROM UNFPA


Remission
On Wednesday, November 29, 2017, the United Nations Fund for Population (UNFPA) donated radio equipment to Buntu Foundation, a Philanthropic Organization created since 2005 by Her Excellency Reverend Denise Nkurunziza, the First Lady of Burundi. The delivery ceremony between UNFPA Representative Suzanne Ngo MANDONG and the Representative of Buntu Foundation was held at Buye, in Ngozi Province, where the radio will be located.

Before remission, the UNFPA Representative was welcomed by the First Lady of the country at the "Umusamariya w'Imbabazi" orphanage, home to 22 orphaned children. The two personalities visited the children's rooms and the various services of that orphanage. In her speech, MANDONG said that that activity is worthy of support because it is a service to humanity. She also encouraged the First Lady Denise Nkurunziza for her commendable deeds.

After that visit, they also paid a visit to Buntu Technical Secondary School in Buye. In a message to the students, the President of Buntu Foundation urged them to create entrepreneurial projects based to their sectors. She also encouraged them to abstain from early sexual intercourse so as not to get sexually transmitted diseases or lose virginity. For MANDONG, students must think about university studies to arrive as far as possible. She said that the well-being of youth is included in UNFPA commitments with the slogan "Zero pregnancy in school".

Finally, the visit was paid to the location where the Buntu radio will be implanted. According to the UNFPA Representative in Burundi, the radio equipment granted to Buntu Foundation has a value of 107 million Burundian Francs. Her Excellency Reverend Denise Nkurunziza thanked the UNFPA representative in Burundi for her warm welcome to the Buntu Foundation's request. She said that the radio will certainly restore hope to the underprivileged and contribute to the development of the country.

Note that the donation was composed of studio equipment and broadcasting control.
