In December 2013 an ophthalmological center built by the Lions Club Bujumbura Doyen was handed over to the Congregation of the Annunciades Sisters of Ijenda. The Ijenda hospital was a partner in the project due to its experience in health care in the area. The project had been supported by the Annunciades Sisters since 2006 with a building plot and rehabilitation of existing buildings.[4] The eye center is located beside the hospital.[5]
