The Outlook Podcast Archive - Mother to 20,000 Children

Marguerite Barankitse, nicknamed the Angel of Burundi, has helped thousands of children - of all ethnic origins - displaced by war. She set up Maison Shalom, the House of Peace, in 1993, a shelter providing children displaced by Burundi's civil war with refuge, medical care and education. It involved tremendous risks - and other people called her 'Maggy the Madwoman'. She tells Jo Fidgen how she started - and why. (Photo credit: Pierre-Philippe Marcou/AFP/Getty Images.)
