Welcome to RECOVI, All together for Victims Assistance

The rights of Victims are every bit as important as those of alleged criminals are, and in recent decades, government agencies have strengthened services to crime victims. RECOVI’s research has supported efforts to guarantee the rights of victims and assist them in a variety of ways. Victims of crime may be any gender, age, race, or ethnicity. Victimization may happen to an individual, family, group, or community; and a crime itself may be to a person or property. The impact of crime on an individual victim, their loved ones, and their community depends on a variety of factors, but often crime victimization has significant emotional, psychological, physical, financial, and social consequences.

ABOUT RECOVI

Created in 2010 with a mission to effectively participate in the assistance of war victims, the Community Awakening of Assistance to Victims “RECOVI” is a non-profit, apolitical association approved by Ministerial Order n° 530/1451 of November 15, 2010.

Who we are

RECOVI (Réveil Communautaire d’Assitance aux Victimes) is a non-governmental and non-profit Organization registered in Burundi since November 2010, under Ministerial Order No 530/1451 of November 15th, 2010 with a Special Consultative Status of United Nations (ECOSOC).

RECOVI’s interventions often contribute to guaranteeing the rights of victims and assisting them in a holistic manner; because the impact of a crime on an individual victim, their loved ones and their community depends on a variety of factors, but criminal victimization often has significant emotional, psychological, physical, financial and social consequences from which some will never recover. Harm may be threatened or inflicted on victims, witnesses or their families, and threats may even be made against lives.

Appropriate and adequate support are more likely to lift the person with holistic approaches capable of helping the person regain self-confidence, reduce their fear and help rebuild their personality.
