Why Gisuru?

Why We Are Going to Gisuru

Gisuru is a remote village in Eastern Burundi, near the Tanzanian border. Most homes are made of mud and thatch. Children walk barefoot, often miles, to reach water. Medical care is almost non-existent. One local clinic serves thousands—and it lacks even aspirin.


Malaria, infections, and childbirth complications are everyday realities here. Many children suffer from preventable illnesses. Most have never seen a doctor.


Yet the people of Gisuru have hope. And we are called to respond.

“What Amigos and Doctors on Mission Will Do”

  • Medical Camps: We will bring doctors, nurses, and volunteers to provide urgent care, medication, and exams.
  • Dental & Vision Care: Cleanings, extractions, glasses—often for the first time in their lives.
  • Spiritual Support: Every visit includes prayer, encouragement, and the Gospel.
  • Training & Partnership: We equip local pastors and leaders to continue care year-round.

We are not coming for a moment. We are coming to stay.
