An organization at the heart of the Burundian community

“Humanitarian well-being; our priority!”

The Centre de Réhabilitation Birashoboka de Ngozi (CRBN) was officially opened by the Ministry in charge of Health on February 10th, 2021, in Ngozi Province, Ngozi Commune, Rusuguti neighborhood. Its main objective is to promote the well-being of all humanity, without consideration of race, gender, religion, or political affiliation. CRBN aims to raise awareness that everyone deserves dignity, development, and better health, and it calls on the entire community to contribute to the fight against all forms of abuse.

To promote quality assurance, CRBN has three departments, namely the Technical and Operational Coordination Department, the Finance and Administration Department, and the Logistics Department responsible for resource acquisition and management. These departments facilitate effective coordination of activities. As a result, the team members possess adequate skills and expertise in planning and reporting, quality assurance in activity implementation, monitoring and evaluation, advocacy, as well as documentation and the collection of success and impact stories. Furthermore, the organization has developed child protection and safeguarding mechanisms to protect beneficiaries against harassment and sexual abuse, as well as mechanisms for fraud prevention and control.
