The Merck Foundation congratulated H.E. Madam Angeline Ndayishimiye, First Lady of the Republic of Burundi, on the recognition of Fondation Bonne Action Umugiraneza as the recipient of the 2026 United Nations Population Award in the institutional category.

The award recognizes the outstanding contribution of Fondation Bonne Action Umugiraneza towards improving health, education, and well-being in Burundi. Senator Dr. Rasha Kelej, CEO of Merck Foundation and President of Merck Foundation First Ladies Initiative (MFFLI), said that the recognition is 'very well deserved' and reflects the commitment and important work of the Foundation.

Merck Foundation has been working with H.E. Madam Angeline Ndayishimiye since 2020 to achieve measurable impact in Burundi. The partnership includes supporting girls' education through the 'Educating Linda' program, providing scholarships for Burundian doctors, and developing local expertise in fertility care.

The Merck Foundation's philosophy is to build healthcare capacity, not dependency, by investing in people to strengthen public healthcare sectors.
