In her message, Honourable KAMPIMBARE encouraged these orphans and people with disabilities to study diligently and avoid distractions. She asked everyone to help these individuals prepare for a better future.

Drawing on the existing agricultural and livestock projects undertaken by the Center for People with Disabilities, the Second Deputy speaker of the Senate encouraged the center’s director to continue these efforts to contribute to achieving the vision of an emerging Burundi by 2040 and a developed Burundi by 2060.

Furthermore, she urged the residents of the locality to cultivate avocado trees to generate foreign currency, which the country needs. On this occasion, Honourable Clotilde KAMPIMBARE promised to provide two soccer balls and two sewing machines to the people with disabilities in Gakwende.
