Burundi Events set out to put on an event that will promote the country in positive light, by glorifying the positive things that happen in Burundi. We want to highlight what a magical place Burundi is with its abundance of culture, bursting with potential and its colorful people.  What Miss Burundi does, is that it creates a platform for these young ladies to propel themselves on the world stage: by being of service to others. »
