New and Improved approach to the Education support

Dear friends, donors and development enthusiast. We are excited to relaunch our support towards access towards the education project   First, quick update The village we originally supported under Edubwiza got a school built by the government in their village The distance which children used to walk to school was removed, so far 65 pupils are in primary school education but also don't attend regularly (we know why, read on), and 3 are in secondary school. The drop-out rates have not reduced, as of February, this year we have...

Shelving books for a local school

We donated library furnitures to GS Gasogi; a school educating most children sponsored by our  EDUBWIZA program. When I asked the management of the school the concerns which needed help, a long list of them was presented to us. It was clear that the school can use more help. But at that moment, there was one project that captured our attention. The schools' library project interested us the most. The librarian requested for a desk and shelves...

One girl at a time

This is a story, a journey of a young woman, who for good reasons is capturing the attention because she is the "most" educated individual of her village.  Josephine is one of the girls we are helping to attend secondary education through our project. Without our help and the financial support from her wonderful and loving sponsors, she would not make this. She remains the most senior beneficiary of our education programme which she has been on since 2009. In two years, Josephine will graduate from a high school as an accountant. We believe...

The first EDUBWIZA Open day

On December 22, 2013 we organised an open day. It was the first since 2010 when we started functioning as a nonprofit.

Our team genuinely appreciates everyone's contribution.  Supporter's assistance continues to play an important role in helping women, children and men whom we work with in Rwanda. We definitely would not have achieved much without them. During the open day we held discussions with sponsors of children who are...

One Love

I came across an article on Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Radio National"Songs of the Voiceless" which was recorded in a village we work with in Rwanda. At the beginning of the video, there are children singing. It is amazing seeing how in just a span of two years these kids have grown. Presently, these children are able to attend school because of the help our project EDUBWIZA extends to them.  For those who didnt know, we have a music CDs for sale from this village for a good cause. If interested in knowing more about this...

An evolving community

In a previous post I detailed how the village we are supporting with access to health care and education in Rwanda was relocated to a new locality in better housing conditions, and how it is presently perceived to be on a right path of prosperity. Looking back where this community comes from, a lot has been achieved and the Rwandan local government should take credit for this even though there remain many unresolved difficulties faced by this community.  Through a...
