Child Sponsor Rwanda


Child Sponsor Rwanda
<


One of the major problems in Rwanda is the aftermath of the genocide which left around one hundred thousand children working on the land to achieve some form of living without adults around them to guide and assist or free them up so they can attend any form of education, so vital to their future and it is estimated that one out of every five children in Rwanda is either an orphan or has been abandoned, one of the world's highest percentages of orphans. Compounding this is the half million girls who were systematically raped pushing up levels of AIDS infection cascading down to their infected newborns.


Child sponsor programs in Rwanda work with these orphaned or abandoned children, promoting access to education in a country which has one of the lowest secondary education attendance in the world (35.87 % in 2018), addressing food insecurity and safe water issues as well as addressing the deep psychological issues of parents to today's children given 60% of them stated that they do not care if they ever grew up because of the traumas of the genocide past. You can make a difference when you sponsor a child in Rwanda.

Volunteer Work Uganda


In a shameless bit of self-promotion, read this novel by the African Volunteer Network team about volunteering in Uganda. "Well worth the read especially for those working with non-profits abroad. In fact, it should be required reading."

Child Sponsor Rwanda: Rwanda Child

Child Sponsor Rwanda: Rwanda Child


As a sponsor, there is a real connection between you and the child you sponsor; they will know your name, write to you and benefit directly from your monthly sponsorship. Many of these children don't have parents, some were killed in the genocide or have died of AIDS. These children are starving for love. So when someone they don't know, in another country, takes an interest to help them go to school and have food and medical care, that person becomes special to them and in a way you become an extended family.
