Housing is one of the most important components of Orphans of Rwanda’s scholarship program for orphans and socially vulnerable young people. This project supports the costs of two ORI student houses.
Orphans of Rwanda (ORI) provides 160 motivated and talented Rwandans with the opportunity to attend university and become Rwanda’s future leaders. ORI-sponsored student houses are where our students develop the relationships that enable them to thrive both academically and personally. One student recently said that ORI’s greatest gift to him was the chance to live with his housemates, who call each other brothers. This project will support the costs for two of our current student houses.
Fund two student houses in Kigali, thereby providing group housing for 14 Orphans of Rwanda students for one year.
ORI’s scholarship program aims to empower Rwanda’s most talented orphans and socially vulnerable young people to become the leaders they hope to be. It is our expectation that our students will become leaders in every sphere of Rwandan society.
"I know the ORI team well and we have built a collaboration based on the shared belief that high-quality education and health care can help Rwanda transform its future."
- Dr. Paul Farmer, Founder of Partners In Health
