For some time now, Scripture Union Burundi has noticed the despair haunting some young people who finish their secondary or university studies. Several trainings on what the Bible teaches about work have been organized for young people to encourage them to build small groups for development and to create income-generating activities. Some of those who have been trained, have grouped together and started small projects by self-financing. Now they can see the light of hope coming, and their small projects starts generating income, with other major projects underway.
Iradukunda Emmanuel, a member of FECABU Church, aged 27, says: "In the past, I tried to associate with other unemployed young people in vain. This was due to the lack of a good vision and skills based on true principles.
"After the training on entrepreneurship based on bible principles, I understood God’s purpose for my life and the paramount importance of associating with others in team to go further in life. God created us in His image after having availed various kind of resources. I have come to understand that it is up to me to exploit, multiply, and protect them for my benefit and that of the community."
