Empowering Dreams: How our Initiative Transformed a Young Girl's Life and prevent drop-out rates

In Rwanda, the journey towards a brighter future for hundreds of children began with a simple yet powerful mission: to stop school dropouts and empower young minds. This remarkable story unfolds as more than 580 children were given school materials and their school fees paid, offering them a chance at an education they might otherwise have been denied. Among these students, one young girl, Irakoze Niyo Reponse Angele, stood out as a shining example of the life-changing impact such initiatives can have.

Education is the key to unlocking a world of opportunities, but many children in Rwanda face insurmountable obstacles that force them to leave school prematurely. Poverty, lack of access to essential school supplies, and the inability to cover school fees are just some of the barriers that stand in their way. Determined to make a difference, we embarked on a mission to halt the dropout rates and empower these children to thrive academically.


The first step in this transformative journey was ensuring that each child had access to the fundamental tools required for a quality education. Thanks to the Talboth Heath School and the generosity of donors and support from local communities, more than 580 children received school materials, textbooks, and most importantly, a renewed sense of hope. These tangible resources not only eased the financial burden on their families but also ignited a belief that through education, their dreams could become reality.

Financial constraints often serve as formidable barriers to education for countless families in Rwanda. To address this issue, the initiative went beyond just providing materials; it covered the school fees for these deserving children. This meant that children like Irakoze Niyo Reponse Angele could pursue their education without worrying about the financial aspect, allowing them to focus on their studies and dreams.


Irakoze Niyo Reponse Angele, emerged as a remarkable success story within this initiative. Her dedication and hard work paid off when she achieved an astounding score of 54 in the state examination. This outstanding performance catapulted her into a new chapter of her life as she was transferred to the Gashora Girls Academy.

Gashora Girls Academy of Science and Technology, an all-girls secondary boarding school, was founded with the vision of enabling Rwanda's young women to reach their full potential. It serves as a hub for future scientists, entrepreneurs, advocates, and thought leaders – precisely the kind of individuals the world needs. Reponse, with her exceptional academic achievements, was the perfect fit for this institution.

Reponse shared her inspiring journey, saying, "When I was going to secondary school, my Parents didn't have the ability to pay for the education I was given. Dufatanye helped me and paid for my studies, and I finished senior three. They gave me the chance, and I didn't waste it. I studied diligently and achieved good grades. If you work hard, you can achieve great results and secure a place in a reputable institution. I chose to study at Gashora Girls Academy because it offers opportunities for scholarships, and it's an excellent place for children who aspire to realize their dreams."

Reponse's story is a testament to the power of compassion, education, and the profound impact of initiatives like ours. By stopping school dropouts and empowering children, we not

only change individual lives but also contribute to a brighter future for Rwanda and the world.


Irakoze Niyo Reponse Angele's journey from uncertainty to excellence is a beacon of hope, illustrating that with determination and support, every child can reach for the stars and achieve their dreams.
