As we celebrated our 10-year anniversary this year, it has been incredible to see all that God has done in the past decade! Our feeding program has provided over 300,000 meals, we have seen 226 children come through our program, and we currently have 152 enrolled. We have 27 alumni attending universities across the globe, and seven have completed their undergraduate studies (five graduated this year!). This is an incredible testament to the hard work our students are putting in to achieve their dreams, considering less than 10% of Rwandans graduate from high school and less than 3% possess a college degree. 

Because of this, the reality remains that there are still thousands of at-risk youth in Rwanda who lack educational resources and don’t know where their next meal will come from. More than 60% of Rwandan children have never been to school or have not completed primary school. Roughly 40% of Rwandan children under five years old are chronically malnourished. The need is overwhelming. For many of these children, education is their only hope of breaking the cycle of poverty that cripples so many families in Rwanda.
