Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village

Support Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village in Rwanda

I’ll be traveling to the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village in Rwanda as part of a cultural exchange program through Young Judaea Year Course in January. The Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village, provides a safe, supportive environment for orphaned and vulnerable children, many of whom are still affected by the aftermath of the 1994 Rwanda Genocide. It believes "Children need the love and support of a family to thrive. When a family isn’t stable, due to societal trauma or personal tragedy, a youth village can fill the gap."

Agahozo-Shalom’s mission: "Through healing, education, and love, the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village empowers orphaned and vulnerable Rwandan youth to build lives of dignity and contribute to a better world."

Your donation will directly support their educational programs, mental health services, and vocational training, empowering these resilient youth to build a brighter future.

I’m fundraising to help support the village’s vital work and deepen my own understanding of Rwanda’s history and culture. By contributing, you’ll be helping transform the lives of young people and investing in Rwanda’s healing and recovery.

Thank you for your support!
