As we look ahead to 2025, one of the most significant challenges for V2SDF lies in empowering teachers and creating effective educational materials. These efforts are crucial for advancing sustainable development initiatives in Burundi and beyond.

In the photo, we see Dr. Dieudonné from NIRUDI collaborating with partners in Burundi to prepare didactic materials aimed at training local educators. These materials focus on teaching the fabrication of solar wood ovens, a sustainable solution that aligns with the region’s environmental and energy needs.

Teacher training is a cornerstone of this project. By equipping educators with the skills and knowledge to build and use solar ovens, we are fostering self-reliance and environmental stewardship in communities. However, this mission requires overcoming barriers such as resource limitations, logistical challenges, and the need for culturally relevant teaching methods.

Developing high-quality educational materials is another critical task. These materials must not only convey technical knowledge but also inspire confidence and creativity among teachers and students alike.

At V2SDF, we are committed to tackling these challenges head-on, knowing that sustainable progress begins with education. Together with our partners, we aim to make 2025 a year of meaningful impact for Burundi’s educators and communities.
