Sobre Nós

HISTORY

In 2002, a group of young people from northern quarters of Bujumbura particularly affected by war, violence, divisions of all kinds decided to meet in order to discuss ways and means of bringing young people together around the values of reconciliation, peace and development.

The meetings became regular and during the same year, they decided to create an English club.

They have found that the English language could be used as a tool that can easily attract young people and then reconcile them.

After one year in 2003, they created the Association for Reconciliation and Development through English, ARDE in acronym.

ARDE will be officially registered in 2004 and currently has 25 effective members and more than 150 sympathizers.
