Elie Manzi
Lives in: Byumba, Rwanda
Date of Birth:17 July 2011
School Year: Primary 2
Sibling 2 sisters
Elie comes from a very poor family. His parents seek casual work on a daily basis, which is very poorly paid. They have one meal a day, and that is only if they have work and are paid, and struggle to meet the family's basic needs.
Elie is a well behaved young boy who loves going to church. He is sociable and enjoys playing football. He helps his parents with daily chores such as collecting firewood and fetching water.
Elie travels 6 km to go to school and another 6 km to get home. He travels double that when his fees go unpaid and he has to attend another school.
Transaction Fees
Because the child benefits from the full £20 per month sponsorship, we have included the transaction fees we incur through our website payment processor. You can sponsor directly through the office and pay via standing order to avoid this fee.
Your Welcome Pack
Once you have signed up to sponsor a child, we will send you more information about the child, the area they live and go to school in and how to correspond with them. Many of our supporters want to know how they can give more support and we will outline this as well, although there is absolutely no obligation to do so and we won't keep asking you.
