Association pour la promotion de la fille burundaise - APFB

The creation of the Association for the Promotion of Burundian Girls, APFB in acronym, was the initiative of a small number of student girls who were already involved in the associative movements of young people and women; and were concerned about the low participation of their sisters.

These girls, aware of the role they are called upon to play in society and anxious to improve the moral, intellectual and professional education of Burundian girls, have decided to create a non-profit association called Association pour la Promotion de la Burundian girl in May 1999
