As I look back over the last year, my heart is overwhelmed at God’s generosity being poured out through friends like you, who have touched and changed the lives of children in Rwanda.
In 2024, we saw:
- 31 child sponsorships for a total of 206 lives forever changed.
- 50+ children came to know Christ as their Lord and Savior.
- 50 children received school supplies and uniforms.
- 75 children received hot nutritious meals each day.
- 45 children had a safe haven to call home while boarding at the school.
- 1,000 community children received school supplies allowing them to attend public school
- 360+ community children and their families learned of God’s love through Hope for Children International School.
- 15 teens attended weekly bible study.
- 25 children had daily bible lessons during lunch.
- The girl’s dorm was completed.
- 10 teams (38 people) served on short-term mission trips, leaving their comfort zones to travel across the globe and impact the lives of children and their families.
- 6 people stayed more than a month and served as a school advisor, handy-man, art teacher, music teacher, and library/reading assistant.
- More gifts than can be counted were given to some of the poorest kids and their families!
In addition to all of this, over $170,000 was selflessly given to fund the SECONDARY SCHOOL BUILDING!
None of this could have happened without you!
Your generosity has helped to spread the love and warmth of our great God to these children and their families—impacting more lives than the numbers reflect!
I think of Eric who was only 9 years old when he came to us four years ago. He was living on the street; his mom had died, and he didn’t know his dad. Because of your generosity, Eric was able to receive a public school education and then Child Sponsorship, allowing him to study at Hope for Children International School.
Eric shares: “This act of kindness and encouragement gave me a glimmer of hope. For the first time, I feel genuinely loved and supported, which gives me the strength to believe in a brighter future.”
I’m looking forward to 2025 with much excitement and anticipation as together we continue the work God has put in front of us. I hope you’ll consider continuing your support in 2025 and make a donation of $50, $100, $250, $1000 or whatever you can afford, to impact the lives of even more children in 2025.
Thank you. I wish you God’s richest blessings in the New Year!
