Meet the Team

My name is Ted Bosveld and I am the founder of Villages of Life. I have personally visited the orphanage in Gitega, Burundi and was amazed to see how well the children are looked after and how they lived together as a family. Their happy, smiling faces and the respect they show for their house mum was astounding. It is unimaginable to think of where they may have been and how they would survive without the much needed assistance of ordinary people like you and me. The local people have amazing skills, but sadly no resources.

If you would like to get in touch and lend your assistance to this project, please contact me.
