In Giheta, Gitega, we met with Secrétaire Exécutif Communale Ninahaza Micheline to discuss how clean cooking can lower household costs, protect forests, and support community development.
Proud to work alongside local leaders driving progress.

After 20 years of teaching electricity at ETS Kamenge, instructor Édouard knows exactly what has been missing and how this impacts students after graduation.
Hear how according to him the Weza Power project will finally bridge the gap between theory and real-world practice.
The renovation of the ETS Kamenge training center continues!
Let’s hear from another student about his hopes, expectations, and what this upgraded center will mean for their training

Our Chargé d'Affaires, Amy Davison, enjoyed meeting yesterday with Brian Kelly, CEO of @WezaPower. Weza is finalizing negotiations with the Government of Burundi to—in partnership with the government utility REGIDESO—greatly expand the country’s electricity grid. This project will employ thousands of Burundians, invest over a billion U.S. dollars into the country, and provide electricity to millions of citizens. It will also provide power for critical sectors, such as mining and agro-processing, spurring economic growth and helping #Burundi to achieve its Vision 2040 - 2060. We look forward to joining Weza in June as they finalize their partnership and break ground on this tremendous American investment into Burundi.
As we start a new week, let’s reflect on the words of H.E. President @GeneralNeva . Weza Power is working diligently to finalize the frameworks and infrastructures that will allow Burundian homes and businesses to transform and thrive.
Wishing you all a productive week!
In Oct, we promised to renovate the ETS Kamenge center. Today, as work progresses, the students are ready!
"Better tools mean we can finally master our craft."
Hear how this project is empowering Burundi’s rising technical talent.

Here is a quick recap of last week's @MIGA@WorldBankGroup delegation visit to Weza Power/@AnzanaElectric group sites.
From our Gitega warehouse to our hydropower infrastructure at Ruvyironza, to our pilot zone in Kizunga. Managing Director TsutomuYamamoto had this to say....
Today, we honor the memory of President Cyprien Ntaryamira.
May his call for unity and discipline continue to guide our steps toward a prosperous Burundi.

From charging phones to powering schools and clinics, the Matara Zone is ready for a new era.
This resurrection Sunday , we celebrate the light and the progress it brings to our communities.
Our final stop was in Zone Matara (“lights”) in Jenda to engage with the community. Their enthusiasm underscores the impact of expanding access to energy and opportunities for all Burundians.
From Gitega to Ruvyironza hydropower site, is an @AnzanaElectric group project we developed as an essential infrastructure highlighting our work as development partners with the Gov. of Burundi in electricity generation.
