Immerse yourself in the diversity of Burundi with the travelling exhibition “AMAHORO Burundi - Partner country full of facets”.
It provides a wide range of insights into the life, society and (colonial) history of the East African country. It also tells of the long-standing AMAHORO! state partnership between Baden-Württemberg and Burundi.

These central themes are used to tell success stories from the partnership that help to bring us closer to our partner country, Burundi. The stories are complemented by numerous pictures and illustrations. The exhibition includes:

  • The size importance of agriculture, in which 90 percent of the population is self-sufficient.
  • women in Burundi, which account for a large part of the economic power in rural areas.
  • Burundian goods such as Coffee, which has been available to all senses in Baden-Württemberg since the end of 2014 as a fairly traded product.
  • The tourism potential the so-called “Land of 1000 Hills” and the rich culture that fascinates young and old in Burundi and beyond.
