Their values consist of integrity, empathy and professionalism, as they seek to address the deep hurts of past generations with a view to raising high-calibre leaders. 
Using a methodology developed by leader Dr Michel Nsabiyumva, who knew the issues facing the nation of Burundi, with many people suffering in secret, often with terrible repercussions. So he embarked on research into the areas of PTSD treatment and trauma recovery.
 
CAPAMI works primarily in the police and army, where the level of PTSD and general trauma is naturally high. So many are in need of developing self-awareness through CAPAMI’s trained counsellors, providing tools for them to heal and grow. CAPAMI has seen many lives beautifully transformed. GLO has partnered with them since 2019.
