About Program
Who are we?
MAFOBA is a non-profit association (NGO) initiated in 2015 by Burundian girls and women and approved by the Ministry of the Interior, patriotic training and communal development by ministerial order N°530/1460DU29/10/2018.
MAFOBA is a Non-governmental organization (NGO) that works for the promotion of socioeconomic rights, peace, leadership, integration, socio-economic reintegration and social cohesion of essentially rural communities. Our target group is particularly women and girls in rural areas, victims of social inequalities and sexual and gender-based violence (VSBG).
MAFOBA is structured in the following manner:
1. A General Assembly (GA)
2. A Supervisory Committee (SC)
3. A Board of Directors (CA) and an executive Secretariat (ES).
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
