Transforming education and enhacing livelihoods

We develop innovative learning tools, create safe and creative school environments, and support youth with skills training and income-earning opportunities.

About us

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

Education

We create educational tools, safe learning spaces while also rehabilitating schools to ensure a supportive learning environment for all.

Livelihood

We provide skills training and opportunities that empower vulnerable groups to earn income and achieve self-reliance

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.
