Meet our Children…and if you feel a tug at your heart, we invite you to sponsor one of our children in Rwanda. Sponsorships are $76 a month, but we work to break them down in co-sponsorships of $38.

FOSTER KIDS: Abandoned Children, Street Kids, and Orphans
The children below are children who were abandoned by their parents or left orphaned. However, instead of being abandoned in a basket in a field as a newborn, left to fend for themselves in the streets, or pawned off on someone who could careless about them, God had a different plan. Each child has been placed in a loving family whose heart's desire is to love, cherish, nurture, guide, and give them the best possible chance in life. Our families instill God's word in the children and teach them to respect others and work hard in life. We partner with our families and help provide the support they need to do their best with these children. Your sponsorship helps relieve the financial burden of raising these children that the Lord has delivered from desperate situations. We humbly ask for your partnership with one of our children to secure their future and help us reach more children.

Our Boarding School Students
If students in Rwanda are to carry on with their education then they have to attend boarding school for secondary school (high school). Many families cannot afford to go to boarding school so students have to stop their education before they are fully finished. We partner with students who are hungry to learn more and do well in school but cannot attend without sponsorship. We also work to help bridge them into their next life steps. Sponsoring one of our boarding school students is a short-term sponsorship opportunity to help get these students to the finish line.
****THERE ARE HIGH PRIORITY CHILDREN due to the risk of them not being able to finish their education.

Kayovu Kids
In March 2024, we determined we would do what we could to help the children in Kayovu. Kayovu is a rural area about an hour and a half outside of the capital city Kigali. Little opportunity exists for one to make a living.
One of our longtime foster parents gathers the very poor village children and tries to teach them what she can with very limited resources and materials. She tries to feed them with food she grows, but there are so many that it is impossible to make sure they are all getting the proper nutrition they need. We knew that working together and finding partners/sponsors, we could make a change.
We snapped some photos and got their ages before we had to return. This is all the information we currently have. As we learn more about each child, we will update their profile. We are inviting you to partner and help us feed and provide learning opportunities to these children. We currently have 29 children that are needing to enroll but need sponsors before we can launch this program.
Here are our Kayovu Kids that need sponsorship...
