The challenge
The amounts of money for attending secondary schools in Rwandan terms are significant. A lot of young people can’t afford that money, which implies that they are expelled from school.
Response
The Student Fund offers more than fifty young people the opportunity to complete their education. Every quarter these young people come to the deaconesses to show their results. When they have successfully completed their training, of course a big party follows! For € 20.00 per month, you offer a young person the opportunity to achieve this.
