STELP is helping since

2024

Torrential rains and heavy flooding are currently causing devastating damage in Burundi. Hundreds of thousands of people have had to leave their homes, roads, fields and entire towns are under water. STELP founder Serkan Eren was on site with a team to provide emergency aid. “It’s been raining for months and everything is now under water. Almost no fields can be cultivated here anymore. People are losing their entire livelihood. It’s a catastrophe and nobody in Germany is aware of it,” he says.

Almost two thirds of the population in Burundi live below the poverty line. Most people work in agriculture and grow pulses, maize, bananas or sweet potatoes. Even before the flood disaster, a large proportion of the population was malnourished or undernourished. Now the situation is getting worse.

Together with the Stiftung Entwicklungs-Zusammenarbeit Baden-Württemberg (SEZ) and local partners Fondation Stamm and Kaz’O’zah, we are helping traders to rebuild their businesses.
