Bujumbura, Burundi - A footage of the delivery of food aid

The Community of Sant'Egidio is greatly concerned about the situation of uncertainty and violence that Burundi is going through.

Burundian communities continue to engage in service to the needy, particularly at this time, when we remember the example of St. Francis, accompanying them in a difficult time. 

The mother community of Rome, for its part, has promoted a fundraising through which it has been possible to send food aid to be distributed in the poorest neighborhoods of Bujumbura.

Yesterday at piazza del Gesù, we were there, but also many passersby, a sign that in this hope there is room for everyone!".
