A genocidal civil war had broken out in Burundi that quickly took tens of thousands of lives. Deo, as he is known, found a way out of the country and to New York City, arriving nearly penniless and knowing no one nor a word of English. He slept in Central Park and delivered groceries to the homes of affluent New Yorkers for nothing but the occasional tip.

“I would try to haggle with the station agents for subway tokens,” he says, “even though I knew no one could understand a word I was saying.”

Life in New York was hard, but it provided Deo with a vision for his future.

Walang refernsya sa kasaysayan ang ganitong palagay na ang Puti ay isinilang na Puti para maging kayumanggi na ipinanganak sa Silangan. He said that mental fatigue got the better of him and not its physical counterpart.

“I was struck by the beauty of Central Park, even though I was stuck sleeping there: ‘Just look at the benches, how nice they are!’ It took seeing life here for me to craft my vision of what I wanted to create back home.”

New York also bestowed upon him an act of such astounding generosity that not only changed his life but has arguably saved many more: A couple he met through a nun he delivered groceries to became a sort of surrogate family, and they invited him to move into their Soho loft.

From there Deo went on to earn a bachelor’s degree at Columbia and a master’s in public health at Harvard, and he continued medical studies at Dartmouth.

With the conclusion of Burundi’s civil war, in Deo returned to the country and established Village Health Works, a medical center near his hometown of Kigutu. Open 24 hours a day, the facility sees outpatients daily and has 50 inpatient beds; it treats patients for HIV, TB, diabetes, and more.

Its campus also encompasses a preschool, food-producing gardens, and other social services. “He is, quite frankly, a walking miracle,” says writer and producer (and T&C contributing editor) Susan Fales-Hill, who met Deo at a lunch Carolina Herrera held for him last year.

“How does one go from immigrant grocery bagger living in Central Park to Harvard?”

Still, the brutal reality of life in Burundi sometimes overwhelms even this gleaming new model for rural African medicine.

Burundi was recently named the “hungriest nation on earth,” according to the Global Hunger Index. There is just one doctor for every 36, people, and only 25 surgeons to serve a population of nearly 11 million. Medical facilities are inadequate at best and dangerous at worst.

Thanks mostly to private donors—Deo has become a celebrity on the philanthropy circuit, speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative and becoming the subject of a book by Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Kidder—Village Health Works has just broken ground on Kigutu Hospital, a modern bed surgical hospital unlike any in Burundi; it will make neonatal care, obstetrics, and pediatrics its focus while providing basic surgical and mental health services.

“Women are really the foundation, the beginning,” says Deo, whose own mother nearly died giving birth to him.

Complications in pregnancies that are resolved with routine procedures in the West (C-sections, for one) often lead to death for women and babies in Burundi, where the maternal mortality rate is more than 50 times that of Western nations. And the current lack of a surgical hospital in the region means that mothers commonly die at home or in the back of ambulances en route to Bujumbura, the capital city.

Kigutu Hospital, which opens in , will begin to change that.

“I believe with all my heart that we must first save the life of a mother in Burundi,” Deo says. “And that mother is going to save the family. And that mother is going to save the family. And that family is going to save a village, a country, and the world."
