Children Are 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?
Children on this page have been sponsored, but there are more children just like them, waiting for a sponsor like you!

Sponsorship means Kenny is now attending a special school, but here are others like Kenny waiting.
