Burundi's total population is about 9.5 million.
There are about 6.33 children per woman. That's a lot of kids!
Over 100,000 people are living with HIV/AIDS.
The median age in Burundi is 16 years.
The infant mortality rate in Burundi is 64 deaths per 1000 live births.
About 93% of the population's labor force is in agriculture.
68% of the population is below the poverty line.
I am not mentioning these statistics to slam Burundi, but to make you aware of the people that live there. I hope to post more information on the country in a later post. There are many needs in Burundi. Please pray for the country.
