Care For Children (Rwanda)
Child's Story
Move forward with a grateful heart
Fannie is an optimistic and grateful person who finds joy in life's simple pleasures. Even though she can only enjoy meat dishes during Christmas, she remains content.

The sponsorship program also provided Fannie with the necessary materials for school, allowing her to attend school regularly and pursue her dream of becoming a principal.
In addition, the program has brought stable income to her family, gradually improving their living environment and economic situation.

Pursuing the dreams, advancing in adversity
Bis dreams of becoming a doctor in the future and helping those in need. Previously, his family faced financial problems. His parents had to work on other people's farms to make ends meet, and their income was very low. They often struggled to support a family of seven, and sometimes could only afford one meal a day. Despite facing various difficulties in life, Bis still loves to study because he knows that this is the key to fulfilling his dreams.
Bis's financial concerns were alleviated after he received support from the sponsorship program, which allowed him to dedicate more time and effort towards his studies and goals. In his leisure time, he always helps with housework and takes care of the sheep his family received from the IGA program. They tried to utilize the manure to enhance the crop yields. His parents are planning to expand their farming work, hope that it will bring greater change for the family.
