NAME: Oliviye Harerimaana (Male) RN010
DATE OF BIRTH: 13/01/2013
CLASS: Primary Two (P2)
SCHOOL: Nakivale HOPE Nursery & Primary School
NATIONALITY: Rwandan
BACKGROUND:
Oliviye is the 3rd born of 6 children. He stays with his mother and father in Nakivale refugee settlement. The family escaped the 1994 Rwandan genocide, that claimed many Rwandan nationals. They stay in a two-roomed thatched mud hut. It sleeps 12 family members: 6 children, 2 parents, 2 aunts, 1 uncle, and a grandmother. The family eat 1 meal a day in the evening, when everyone is back. That is Posho and beans, usually provided by UNHCR monthly. Due to lack of water, especially during dry season, they get water from community taps, made by the UN. The children rise early in the morning to fetch water before school. This early start & heavy load affects their education. It is not easy for the parents, as they do not have any source of income to cater for Oliviye's studies or other basic needs. Oliviye's dream is to become a teacher.
You can sponsor Olivye for $50 per month.
ABOUT YOUR NEW SPONSORSHIP
To sponsor a child or class, complete the form above with your contact details, naming the child or class, and their number.
We will be in touch by email and forward a form for filling in your payment details and other information. You can scan, fill in and email back to our office, or take a photo on your phone and send to us.
Soon, you will receive an introductory letter from your selected child or class / teacher from Africa, and a beautiful profile card of your child/class.
African children love receiving letters from you, as well as a photo of your family. These can be scanned and emailed to our office for forwarding to our partner in Africa who will print and deliver your letter.
Sponsored children can be visited in country depending on their local environment at the time, your visa, or permit to enter a refugee settlement and arrangements with our African project partner.
Please note: every African child wants to be a doctor or a lawyer, a pilot or an engineer! Your sponsorship may not get them that far, however, they will have a brighter future, whether they complete secondary, tertiary or a vocational course.
It is good to be aware that sometimes children leave the region and are lost from our program, others are forbidden to continue study, some are forced into early marriage and occasionally some die. We hope that your sponsoring experience will be a long and rewarding one.
