Children seeking sponsors in Rwanda

Children from Kigeme Groupe Scolaire

Situated in the foothills of the Congo - Nile watershed in the South-West of Rwanda. The school began as a girls school in 1965 but underwent a major change in 1990 when it became a mixed secondary school.

There are currently around 862 pupils, 814 boarders and 48 day students. The school has 15 class rooms with 17 men and 3 women teachers.

Children studying in the secondary school at Kibungo have a number of tidy well laid-out classrooms on the side of the hill. They also have a local primary school as a close neighbour with over 1,600 pupils (800 morning and another 800 in the afternoon) which ensures they are never lonely!

Mbogo school is situated in a very isolated part of East Kigemi diocese in S. Rwanda. It was started in 1992 but had to close down because of the war in 1994. It reopened again in 1995.

It is a secondary school providing three years of general education. There are 10 classes with a total of 426 pupils (mixed) consisting of 312 borders and 114 day pupils. In 2008 the school had 14 teachers.

Gikonko school is situated about 40 miles outside Butare. It is a Church secondary school, so the children there are a little older than most children sponsored under the Ray of Hope project. We tend to help children who are orphans or from poorer backgrounds and because of their circumstances many have started school later in life, please help these children if you can,  in many cases you will be helping a whole family.
