Send my Rwandan friend to school

Donation protected
Please partner with Hanfield Youth in Marion, IN to make a difference to friends near and fear.

I met this wonderful and impressive young man, Shema Jean D'Amour, on a trip to Rwanda in Jan 2018. Although he tragically lost his father who had enabled him to go to school, he is still attempting to excel in life to help his family. If he can finish school he can get an opportunity to go to university and then a great job and help his two brothers and sister go to school as well. He also can relieve his mother whose job selling eggs barely covers family food expenses...

...IF he can finish school.

He is enrolled at Excella School in Kigali, which is one of the most unique, faith-based boarding school experiences in Rwanda producing future community leaders. Would you please consider helping? This program uses a three term structure per year, and each term's total costs (materials, uniforms, room & board, etc) total 704,000 RWF (rwandan francs) which equals $822 USD. Once we add travel expenses to Kigali and some supplies for Shema during the term, we need $900 per term (three times per year). If we can find just a few partners to give $50-$100 a few times per year, this young man will be able to have a better future, completely care for his family, and help improve Rwanda.
