Geshem Arinatwe Rugira

Date of Birth:20 June 2014
School Year: Primary 6
Siblings: 3 sisters
Geshem is playful when with his friends. He likes to play local Rwandan games such as hide and seek and football. His family is living in extreme poverty. They stay in a friend's house and depend on his kindness for somewhere to live. The father struggles looking for some casual work so that he can earn a living to sustain his family. He digs for others, works on buildings, and does other jobs to earn money for meals for his family, paying medical insurance, school fees and other scholastic materials for the children which is always hard to achieve. The mother is a very good teacher at the church and she participates in voluntary church activities and sometimes she is provided with meals.
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.
