Access to healthcare
Our objective: to improve access to healthcare for the population of the rural and informal sector in 7 communes in the north of Burundi.

- Improve the membership, professionalism and governance of the 7 mutual health insurance companies we have developed.
- Support the health sector in order to improve the quality of care for the mutual health insurance members.
- Strengthen a regional umbrella organisation that stimulates and accompanies the mutualist movement and contributes to the process of setting up the unions of mutuals in the health districts.
- Produce and disseminate our knowledge and experience acquired in support of the mutualist movement in Burundi. Discover our capitalisation documents.

CHRISTINE, RUTANA PROVINCE
"The Moso Seeds project was an eye-opener! The support I received allowed me to increase the size of my banana plantations but also to understand that development is in our hands. I would like to sincerely thank the agronomist from UCODE (local partner of Louvain Coopération) for his help. Now I have a large production of banana trees and thanks to the sale of the bananas, we have been able to build a house, get workers for our crops and provide education for our children."
