THE SCHOOL YEAR 2021-2022 SHORT REPORT
Iwacu Kazoza School is giving the underprivileged children an opportunity to have right to education and giving them a NEW HOPE FOR TODAY – TOMORROW and BEYOND.
I am very thankful to our donors and friends, and friends of friends who are making their donations to help JRMD continue to provide education to the unprivileged kids, schooling at Iwacu Kazoza School.
Providing education to the underprivileged and orphaned children will help them test to the good things that the World has to offer. Education will enable them to become independent and self-sufficient and give back to their community.
During the school year 2021-2022 teachers’ salaries were not paid in total due to the lack of funds; we still owe them $2,938 and this amount of money should be paid to the teachers and school administration staff before August 10, 2022. To meet this need, we can only count on friends and partners of JRMD.
Iwacu Kazoza School current needs for the school year 2022-2023:
The school year 2022-2923 will start on Monday, September 5, 2022 and will be providing education to 530 students during the school year 2022-2023.

FOURTH GRADUATION OF THE STUDENTS OF IWACU KAZOZA SCHOOL
46 students, girls and boys graduated today, on April 8, 2021. This is the results of what our donors, friends and friends of friends have done through their financial support and prayers.
We are very grateful to each one of you all who continue to support financially Iwacu Kazoza School. Iwacu Kazoza School is very grateful to each one of you for your donations which continues to enable JRMD continue to provide education to the underprivileged children.
Education is the key for a promising and a future stable life. If you want to lead a promising life and experience the good things that the World has to offer, you certainly need to get educated. To get a great job, a good social reputation, benefit your community and nation are few of the many benefits of being an educated person in the today’s World.
In Burundi, especially in Cibitoke, where Iwacu Kazoza School is providing education to the underprivileged and orphaned children, the following reasons continue to make many children not to go at school or abandon the school:
In one word, poverty is the cause of many children not to have access to education in Burundi, Africa. That’s why Iwacu Kazoza School is providing education to the underprivileged and orphaned children so that they can also have a chance in the future to lead a promising life and experience the good things that the World has to offer. This work of providing education to the underprivileged and orphaned children continues because of you and friends, and friends of friends.
A donation of $125 will provide education to one underprivileged or orphaned child schooling at Iwacu Kazoza School, including his/her school materials and uniform. You can help one or more of the above mentioned children who can not have access to their education due to the poverty of their parents or because they are orphans. This can be done by joining hands together with the community within and the community beyond.
It was a great Joy and laughter for each one of us to celebrate the graduation of 46 Students boys and girls of Iwacu Kazoza School graduated after 3 years studying Computer Management ( Informatique de Gestion). I am very grateful and appreciative to our donors, friends and friends of friends for continuing to helping us make possible this work to continue to provide education to over 500 underprivileged and orphaned children, schooling at Iwacu Kazoza School.

JOIN US IN CELEBRATING 27 YEARS OF SHARING
LOVE AND COMPASSION IN ACTION
For my last 27 years with JRMD in serving others, I learnt three important things: (1) Compassion is not about words, Compassion is action; it is about caring for those in need and suffering; (2) There is Joy and Blessings in serving others and helping them find a solution of what they call “Problem”; (3) God is able to make Great Things to happen, through whoever is available to serve Him in obedience.
Compassion is about identifying yourself with those in need and suffering; it is about solidarity; it is about helping find the solutions for those who are waiting for a help and assistance, as you would have tried for your own self.
We started this journey of sharing Love and Compassion in Action in January 1994, when Hutu and Tutsi were killing each other and could not live together as they used to be before the war escalated in October in 1993, with the objective to promote peace and reconciliation in a divided nation, through sharing Love and Compassion in Action.
Through our Journey, we showed the nation of Burundi that it is still possible for Hutu, Tutsi and Twa to live together as they used to live for hundreds years, just as witnessed by our team.
In January 1994, the first 150 homes were built in the location of Kwisumo-Munyinya, in Ruyigi Province, Eastern of Burundi. In the same year, we organized a peace building and reconciliation campaign in all over the country of Burundi during a period of three months. The following year, we organized a historical Youth Congress which gathered over 1,000 delegates from different countries of Africa.
In the summer of 1999, we built 150 houses in 15 days and in 2003 we organized three days youth activities in which over 5,000 young people participated actively to clean the City of Bujumbura. From 1994-2020, we built 3,269 houses for 3,269 families, living in different locations and provinces of Burundi. We sponsored thousands of children with school materials who could not go to school without a such help. Conferences and workshops related to peace-building and reconciliation were organized for church leaders and lay people. In 2008, we built 40 houses for 40 families in 40 days with funds raised in 40 days. Between 2008 and 2009 we distributed 122 mattresses to the very needy families in Carama, a location, where we built over 700 homes. In 2003 We published a peace-building and reconciliation booklet in Kirundi and French, called: “Is It Possible to Live Together Once Again” and 2004, we published another booklet entitled “Risking Our Lives in Order to Save the Lives of Others”. 2004 I had the privilege to meet with a Commission of the Parliament of Netherlands. In 2006 and 2007 I was nominated Giraffe hero and Ambassador for peace. In 2007 and 2009, I had the privilege to meet the President of Burundi, Pierre Nkurunziza and the Governor of Washington State, Christine Gregoire.
On September 17, 2012 we opened a school “Iwacu Kazoza School” with 252 students. Decision to open in 2012 was difficult:
- Toilets were not completed
- Full funding was not secured
- Permanent water system was not ready
- Did not have school materials
- Parents begged for the school to open - if the school did not happen their children could not have had access to education
Today, Iwacu Kazoza School is providing education to over 500 underprivileged and orphaned children, who could not have access to education without a help from people like you.
From 1994-2020, many other different projects were undertaken, such as Goat Project, Women Farming Project, Micro-lending Project, AfricaAmericaExchange Project, etc …
During our Journey of 27 years, thousands of people realized and believed that Jesus-Christ is the foundation of peace and reconciliation.
The work of bringing healing and hope to a wounded community, through sharing Love and Compassion continues. This is being done in joining hands together with our partners and friends. Today, we have two projects that we are undertaking:
