About UCCD
The story of United Citizens for Change and Development (UCCD), also known as United Christians in Evangelism (UCE), began in 2006. Founded by visionary Christians who received divine revelations, the association emerged with the primary mission of supporting church evangelization, strengthening believers, and teaching/supporting rural communities for sustainable development.
In 2009, after two years of divine discernment, the first evangelization conference took place in Marumane, Muramvya. Despite modest beginnings using television screens and bicycles for travel, the association persisted through challenges. Today, with over 10 years of service, it has 22 employees, 200 voluntary members, and aims to expand its impact across the country. UCCD continues to grow, with a dream of establishing UCDD Antennas throughout Burundi.
