“I felt the need to take action to assist the community in breaking free from the cycle of poverty that has trapped them since the 1950s when our parents were denied access to education due to genocide ideology. I began with 78 children selected from child-headed households. As of January 2023, we had 350 children in our program, with over 200 more on a waiting list due to a shortage of classrooms. I would like to invite you to partner with us.”
