Description

The annual Tuvugane Awards ceremony recognizes and celebrates Burundian-Americans who are doing transformative work in their communities and for Burundi. Tuvugane believes that communities thrive when members are motivated and encouraged. We recognize the plight of Burundian youth who are resilient in spite of the numerous barriers they encounter in the places in which they live, their community, culture, and family traditions. Tuvugane is a platform created by and for Burundian-Americans to break these barriers, facilitate trust-building, inter-generational healing, and coexistence. For this reason, we established the annual Tuvugane Awards ceremony to celebrate our accomplishments, impact, and recognize some of the members of our community who have done exemplary work that encourages and motivates others.
