BYE BYE HOLIDAY
On January 3, 2025, Joy Foundation was in the Gihungwe Commune of Bubanza Province, for a meeting activity with children who are supported by the organization. An opportunity to talk more about the 2nd school term which begins on January 6, 2025 on which good academic results are expected; an opportunity to present to the children and inaugurate a place where Joy Foundation activities will take place, sharing once again the little that was planned (meals and juice). As usual in the day’s speeches, the Joy Foundation Activities Manager thanked the children for the results obtained in the first school term and encouraged them to do better at school. The children’s companion thanked the founder and the staff of the organization for the good follow-up they provide, the necessary materials provided for studies, clothing as well as the porridge they receive for the well-being of the kids.

Tuyishime Boaz, a child with 1 year and 3 month born with a congenital heart disease, as it is our mission and vision to help. We rushed to provide him with packets of milk for the end of the year. It was once again a pleasure to meet him and wish him a happy new year of good health, healing and growth.
Christmas for Kids
On this December 24, 2024, Joy Foundation has received more than 74 children who are among its aid priorities. After the children were able to play and jump on the trampoline, it was time to share a meal and a drink together. This great moment was preceded by a prayer thanks to God for this year for having kept and protected us. A small cake was offered to the kids on the celebration for them who do not know their birthday then the time to give gifts for everyone and especially those who did well at school. Joy Foundation was also able to donate clothes so that on December 25, the Christmas Day, children could be well dressed at the church.
Feed properly in order to overcome malnutrition
Through to our own efforts, more than 30 children can defeat hunger and poverty. Joy Foundation has incorporated income generating activities such as a porridge flour project “Baby Joy Porridge”. Through this small project, children from Kimbote quarter of Buterere zone in the province of Bujumbura who are supported by Joy Foundation are feed properly in order to overcome malnutrition, monitored in the school environment for their futures. For helping us improve our charitable goal, 1KG of Baby Joy Porridge flour costs 1 US$ to continue supporting these children in need. We wish we could help everyone, but we just can’t. That’s why we have selected a few to whom. We always serve a hot home cooked meal. Reaching out and helping the children of the deprived community is our saving grace.
JEAN DE DIEU NEED OUR HELP
Jean de Dieu is a child of only four years old. He has picked out from the street by a woman whose life was collecting waste charcoal from garbage.
However, that woman was used to seeing that child so many days at the garbage; so, she decided to fetch some information in order to know more about that child. Surprisingly she got some news of his concern on how he gets food for having dug in the trash cans.
Touched by that story, she took the decision to bring him at her home for his upbringing. Reached out of that information we visited the place and concluded to make a change by doing what we can.
As the doings continue to increase, we beg for everyone out there who can feel the need of helping that little child to come over and join us on those good deeds.
