| Maggy with the children of Maison Shalom |
Today is International Women’s Day! At Friends of Humanity,
we are committed to helping women around the world to attain the highest level
of rights and freedom. In doing so, we
are inspired by the work of our partner, Maggy Barankitse, founder of Maison
Shalom, recipient of countless humanitarian awards for her work with children
and young women in Burundi, and honoree of last year’s International Women’s
Day. Through Maison Shalom, Maggy has
provided shelter, food, and resources for thousands of orphaned children, as
well as support for sexually-abused young women through Maison Shalom’s Rema
Hospital

Of her tireless work, Maggy says: “I am simply a mother, who
fights on a daily basis for dignity. Even if I may not have anything to give my
children, I have love. And love is extraordinarily resourceful.” On this day,
we celebrate and honor the love and light of women around the world!
