UN Youth Volunteer lending a helping hand in Burundi

As we mark International Youth Day 2021, Landry Irambona, a UN Youth Volunteer serving with UNDP Burundi, shares his experience lending a helping hand to people in his home country during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

 

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit his native country of Burundi, Landry Irambona found a way to help respond to this crisis through the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme.

As a UN Volunteer with UNDP Burundi, Irambona took up the opportunity to serve as a Finance Assistant for the Global Fund to Fight Against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, where he has been providing invaluable services during the pandemic.
