Empowering Youth,
Shaping the Future

Spring Communities was created to respond to the urgent need for quality education and youth empowerment in Burundi. With over 60% of the population under 25 and high unemployment rates, we saw an opportunity to equip youth with the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to build a better future.

Our programs

EduSpring

We improve learning by creating safe learning environments and expanding access to quality education in schools, vulnerable communities, refugee camps, and emergency learning environments.

Skills Academy

We expand education opportunities for young people by equipping them with practical competencies and life skills that support employability, entrepreneurship, and community leadership.

Plastic Waste Recycling

Spring Communities’ mission is to improve the social and economic status of marginalized communities by embracing livelihoods for a resilient community

Value-added recycling of plastic waste contributes to goal 2 for job creation and capacity building of our 2024-2028 strategic plan.
