RWANDA
In 2019 we partnered with an elementary school in a rural village of Rwanda called Muhozi. This school was built and started by people from a local church in Rwanda. ReGeneration International Inc. believes that education helps with the prevention of human trafficking and cyclical poverty.
Rwanda is a small central African country that is known for its enriching culture. The primary language is Kinyarwanda and they have a population of over 12 million people. There was a mass genocide in Rwanda in 1994 that killed nearly 1 million people. This greatly impacted the entire country and as a nation, they are currently in the process of restoration.
Majority of intercepted trafficking victims in Rwanda are female (77%). Rwanda's most common forms of human trafficking are sexual exploitation and labor trafficking. Those being trafficked in Rwanda typically end up in Saudi Arabia, Uganda, and Kenya.
Sewing School
We have partnered with a center for women that has a startup vocational school for vulnerable young women, orphans, and single mothers in a town called Kanyinya. In this center, the women are learning how to sew and do hairstyling. These skills will empower them to find a job in the marketplace or start their own business that will give them dignity and the income needed to provide for their families.
PURPOSE OF THE SCHOOL
The purpose of this school is to help educate vulnerable children in Rwanda who normally would not be able to attend school because of poverty and a lack of resources.
(RURAL) VILLAGE SCHOOL
We have strategically partnered with a school in a rural village called Muhozi, that reaches young vulnerable children and provides an education for those who otherwise wouldn't be able to attend school. The school now has 3 completed classrooms that serve 127 students. We are hoping to complete additional classrooms to have more space for the children to learn in adequate conditions. The government has helped the school by providing food for the students.
In the future, we would like to expand this school by building high school classrooms and a medical clinic to meet the health needs of each child.
