Fondation Stamm

Fondation Stamm was founded in August 1999 by Verena Stamm.

Verena Stamm has lived in Burundi since 1972, and knows the way of life, the traditions, the culture, the country and the Burundian people, which is the best way to work directly with the local population and help them effectively.

Thanks to her training as a nurse, as an accountant and her organizational skills, she has been able to take on much of the work, organization and coordination of the foundation herself.

In 2017, Verena Stamm received the Federal Cross of Merit ("Bundesverdienstkreuz" in German) for all the achievements she accomplished since the creation of Fondation Stamm up to nowadays. This award was given to her by the Federal Republic of Germany through its Bujumbura-based embassy.
