Financial Assistance for Burundi

In a remarkable display of dedication and perseverance, Friedhelm Leven, a board member of BURUNDI-HILFE eV, recently embarked on a solo bike journey from Brüggen to the Polish border. The journey, spanning eleven days and covering a total distance of 1,205 km, took him through the Teutoburger Wald and Harz regions, amidst extreme heat.

Leven's journey was unassisted, using an old touring bike and carrying necessary gear. The purpose of this arduous journey was to solicit donations for children's homes in Muramvya and Bujumbura, Burundi, one of the poorest countries in the world. The situation in Burundi is currently dire due to sharply increased prices for staple foods, making life even more challenging for the people there who must daily struggle for survival.

BURUNDI-HILFE eV is a German non-profit organisation that provides support to Burundi. The organisation has requested support for Leven's journey, with a total amount of 120.50 euros needed for this cause. However, the name of the donor who conducted the Fietstour25 donation is not provided in the available search results.

Leven's journey included cities such as Münster, Detmold, Holzminden/Weser, Goslar, Wittenberg/Elbe, Potsdam, and Küstrin/Oder. The journey aimed to help the people of Burundi, with a donation of 10 cents per kilometer able to support a child's safe home in Burundi.

If you wish to support Leven's cause, donations can be made to BURUNDI-HILFE eV with the reference Fietstour25. The account number for donations is DE72 3205 0000 0001 0704 08.

Leven's bike journey is a testament to the power of individual action and the collective effort needed to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. By supporting BURUNDI-HILFE eV, you can help provide a brighter future for the children in Burundi.
