Launched in January 2021, Shikiriza newspaper is a youth-led online newspaper focused on children, youth, women, and underrepresented communities. Since its inception, we have made significant strides and created a meaningful impact in various areas of our work. Our achievements include comprehensive reporting, news gathering and dissemination related to Burundi and beyond. Additionally, we have conducted online and offline training and awareness-raising sessions, promoted innovative initiatives, advocated for the empowerment of youth and women, and worked on behalf of children’s and human rights. We have also pursued commercial activities to ensure the sustainability of our media outlet, as well as internal development efforts within our editorial team and organization. Furthermore, we have established valuable partnerships and collaborations with other organizations.
Despite our progress, many tasks remain, and we remain dedicated to realizing our vision: « A community where children, youth, women, and underrepresented communities are promoted, respected, inspired, and empowered. » We welcome individuals and organizations interested in collaborating with us to help advance this mission.
