Amahoro!
I started Sacodé in 2011, in my garage, driven by a desire to help struggling female relatives and friends to find employment. Today, we're a leader in advocating for and implementing vital programs that address health, education, poverty and access to clean water across Burundi. Please visit Our Programs to learn more about our approach, and the About Sacodé for what motivates us. We hope that you'll be inspired to join us, as we continue to transform lives and strengthen communities.

The first period-tracking app in Kirundi
Oky-Burundi is the first period-tracking app created for girls, with girls, and available in Kirundi. It delivers information about menstruation and sexual and reproductive health in a fun, creative and positive way. One app can hold multiple accounts, which is ideal for families with one smartphone.
