Representing: Burundi
Hailing from Bujumbura in Burundi, 18-year-old Sandra Bigirimana’s motto is “God is powerful.”
The teenager says that if she wins the Nokia Face of Africa 2006 title, she will “assist my family and orphans because I am an orphan too”.
Describing herself as kind, polite and courageous, Sandra is currently a student at the Lyceé de la Solidarité.
Her parents died when she was very young and she now lives with her sisters and brothers.
Sandra speaks French, English and Swahili and entered the Nokia Face of Africa 2006 because “I saw that I could represent my country as a model.”
