Pathway to success: scholarships to needy students

Project Report | Jan 29, 2025
Achievements (October - December 2024)

By Eugene Nteziyaremye | Project Leader

During the three-month period from October 1 to December 31, we continued providing scholarship support to 23 high school students, including 18 returning students and 5 new recipients. Our scholarships cover full tuition, transportation, school supplies, and internships. Recipients are selected based on financial need and academic performance, with the aim of empowering them to achieve their educational goals and transform their lives.

Inspiring Student Stories:

  • Student 1 (17 years old): After losing both of his parents, this student lives alone in a government-provided house. His older siblings left to find work, leaving him to fend for himself. He survived on one meal a day, provided at school, and relied on the support of teachers and fellow students for school materials. Despite these challenges, his determination never faltered. He became the top student in his class, passed the Grade 9 national examination, and earned a spot at a school of excellence. Now in Grade 10, he is studying Automobile Technology, setting the stage for a brighter future.

  • Student 2 (22 years old): As the oldest child, this student assumed the role of head of his household. He lives with his mother and four siblings in a rented house. His father, an alcoholic, sold all their land to fund his addiction, often becoming violent when drunk. This forced the family to move several times. Despite the instability, he remained focused on his studies. He passed the Grade 9 national examination with an excellent score and secured a place at a school of excellence. Now in Grade 10, studying Wood Technology, he continues to pursue his dreams of a better future.
