Called to good: Harvey Gillman on Voices of Hope

‘The work grows and grows.’

by Harvey Gillman 21st November 2025

Voice of Hope is a Quaker-inspired project based in Bujumbura, Burundi. I first came across it in the early 2020s when hearing of the work of Socrate Imani Matabaro, a Congolese Friend. Socrate was brought up in a society overwhelmed by violence, made worse by civil war in Rwanda.
