Fondation Stamm
Breaking the cycle
Bridging the gap between hardship and hope.
For over 25 years, the Stamm Foundation has been working in Burundi to transform the vulnerability of children and communities into strengths for the future. Together, let's give them the education, care, and dignity they need to rebuild their lives.

SPECIALIZED HEALTH CARE
Integrate dermatological care and visual support, ensuring that children have access to sunscreen, protective clothing and specialized learning materials, adapted to common visual impairments related to albinism.
EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE
Twenty children are currently enrolled. Our team provides daily academic support—including homework help, tutoring, and evening classes on weekends. The results speak for themselves: our children achieve excellent grades and top rankings in their classes.
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
We support 32 day children with albinism (compared to 9 previously) by providing them with school supplies and specialized sunscreens, essential for their health during the intensity of the dry season.
