The main economic activity is Sugar Cane farming as a cash crop. Maize and sweet potatoes are grown for subsistence. Cattle, sheep, goats, chicken and ducks are all reared on small scale. There is only one primary school - Burundu Primary School. There is no Secondary School, most children go to neighbouring schools. The village is sparsely populated with most people literate. Some of the Prominent Scholars from this village include Dr Shikuku Musima Mulambula, a Senior Lecture at Moi University,Department of Educational Psychology, Jemima Mulambula (Bsc, Forestry, Moi University,) and Peter Murunga (Bed.
