'The Angel of Burundi'
Who is the Marguerite Barankitse, the woman who's also known as "The Angel of Burundi"? After mass killings in her native Burundi in 1993, she set up Maison Shalom - house of peace, a home for children who had survived the atrocities.
But she was forced to leave Burundi in 2015 after threats were made against her and moved to neighbouring Rwanda where she continues her work with children.
She told Focus on Africa's Audrey Brown why she set up Maison Shalom.
