"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela
In East African countries, high school education is not universal, thus the high cost of education keeps children from receiving the education they deserve.
• Give a child the gift of high school education in Rwanda and Uganda

HIV/AIDS claims more lives on the continent of Africa than civil wars combined. This year, we were able to provide daily meals to 50 children who are HIV+ and taking their anti-retro viral medication in Rwanda, thus supporting their families as well. Our goal for next year is to grow the program to 75 children.
• Give an HIV+ child the gift of daily meals in Rwanda
