Rwanda 2024

In May 2024, our association concluded its second international humanitarian project in Rwanda, marking an important milestone in our commitment to communities in need.

This project was inspired by Trésor, a Rwandan friend Saša met during his master's degree in California. Trésor received transformative educational support from the Urukundo Foundation, enabling him to continue his studies in the United States. His journey has deeply motivated us to offer the same opportunity to other young people.

For over a year, our team set about raising funds through various events in the Valais region, with the aim of supporting the Urukundo Foundation and thus the education of children in Rwanda. 

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and partners, we were able to raise CHF 11,000, which was donated to the Urukundo Foundation (see receipt in the photos below). This donation will go directly towards the construction of a new kitchen and canteen, enabling hundreds of schoolchildren to be fed on a daily basis.

Why did we choose the Urukundo Foundation? Since 2006, this foundation has been caring for over 1,000 children every year, from infants to university students. With 18 years' experience, it has in-depth knowledge of educational needs and vital contacts within local communities. By working hand-in-hand with them, she identifies current priorities, ensuring that every donation is put to optimum use for the benefit of the children.

The impact of your donations is immense. It's not just a question of improving the daily lives of these young people, but of transforming their lives over several generations. An educated child actively contributes to the growth and development of his or her country, and Rwanda's future depends on its educated youth.

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all our donors and partners for their generosity and unfailing support throughout the harvest period. This project would not have been possible without you.

Our nonprofit organization will continue its efforts to support other humanitarian initiatives and continue to make a difference, a project that is close to our hearts both.
