​Our second group of the New Mom Sewing Co-Op is up and running beautifully! The young mothers are learning to sew school uniforms, skirts to sell in the markets, and reusable sanitary napkins for students, enabling them to stay in school during their menstrual cycles. We are collaborating with the Rwanda Energy Group to secure electricity for two electronic sewing machines. Please enjoy these photos from the ladies and a testimonial from one of the new moms below.

New Mom Testimonial

​Our Project Manager in Rugarika, Brigitte, recently met with our secondary students along with Peninah, one of the university students we sponsor. They discussed the importance of hard work, using Peninah's story to inspire hope and demonstrate that university or trade school is within their reach. Here are some pictures from their talk.

​Brigitte met a young man who had dropped out of school due to lack of funds. After speaking with him, we were able to provide him with a backpack, sports uniform, and shoes. He committed to returning to school and has been attending regularly for the past month. We are so proud of him!

​GIFTS Rwanda held its first General Assembly meeting with the new Rwandan board, alongside our team members Brigitte and Paterne! We have prepared and submitted our signed By-Laws to the Rwanda Governance Board and are now awaiting the Operational Certificate. We hope to hear back in the next couple of weeks. Exciting times ahead! Here is a pic from the first General Assembly meeting.
