Children Waiting
Many children with disabilities are capable of learning basic skills, like simple math, literacy and life skills which would increase their independence and long-term quality of life. These skills can help a child become a contributing member to his or her family and community, instead of a burden to their parents. Unfortunately, the schools in rural Rwanda do not have the training or space to work with children with disabilities.
Just $49 a month allows us to provide a tutor and all the supplies need to teach children in small groups with individualized programs, designed to help them succeed.
You will receive a picture of your child, progress reports 3 times a year, and the opportunity to send emailed letters of encouragement. Won’t you sponsor a child today? These children are waiting for your help.

Sandrine

Location: Gahini, District Kayonza, Rwanda
Sandrine is a sweet shy girl with autism. She was attending school, but the other children kept picking on her and beating her up when the teacher wasn't looking. Finally her parents had to pull her out of school. Now she sits at home all day. Sponsorship would let Sandrine go to a local specialized school program where she could learn in a safe environment.
