First Day of School in Burundi

A New Beginning: Launching the 2025-2026 School Year

Today marks a joyful milestone for Calvary Transformation Ministries (CTM) in Burundi: the official start of the 2025–2026 school year. With backpacks in hand and hearts full of hope, children returned to class—some to familiar rooms, and others to a brand-new chapter.

Preparing Together: August 30th Parent-Teacher Meeting

Before the school doors opened, CTM hosted a parent-teacher meeting on August 30th to lay a strong foundation for the year ahead.

• Goals were set for academic and spiritual growth

• School supplies were distributed to families

• Teachers and parents connected in unity and purpose

This gathering reminded us that transformation begins with relationship—and that every child’s success is a shared journey.

Grand Opening: Generation Transformation School

This year also celebrates the grand opening of the Generation Transformation School, a K–12 institution rooted in Christian values and excellence. Built with prayer, perseverance, and the faithful support of ministry partners, this school stands as a testimony to what God can do through a united community.

From parental involvement to newly trained teachers, every detail reflects the vision of CTM: to raise up a generation equipped to lead, serve, and transform Burundi.

“Transformation takes time—but it’s possible. Don’t worry. God is with you.” — Pastor Hatungimana Enock Aldrich

A Prayer for the School Year

Heavenly Father,

We thank You for every student, teacher, and parent stepping into this new year. Bless the classrooms with peace, wisdom, and joy. Strengthen the teachers with grace and clarity. Empower the parents with faith and provision. And let every child know they are deeply loved and divinely purposed.

May this year be filled with growth, unity, and transformation—for Your glory. Amen.

Grateful for Every Hand That Builds

As we step into this new school year, we pause to thank the many hearts and hands who make this work possible. From faithful intercessors to generous international partners, your prayers, encouragement, and support have helped create a healthy, hope-filled environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive.

The launch of Generation Transformation School is not just a milestone—it’s a movement. Every classroom, every class session, every teacher trained is a reflection of your investment in Burundi’s future.

We invite you to continue walking with us:

• Support our teachers as they pour wisdom and love into each child

• Provide supplies that equip students for success

• Help complete the building project so we can welcome even more children into a safe, Christ-centered space

Together, we are transforming generations.
