Iwacu Kazoza School
“Providing Education to 452 Children in Ruhagarika”
During the school year 2013-2014
Mr. Nicizanye has three children schooling at Iwacu Kazoza School, he said: “If this school could not have been here, my three children could not have a chance to go to school. Now I can hope to see them complete their education and have a good job that will enable them to help themselves and care for our poor family in the future”.
During this school year 2013-2014, Iwacu Kazoza School is providing education to 452 children, from the village of Ruhagarika and surrounding areas. As you can see from this video, posted on the following link, most of these children schooling at above mentioned school come from very needy families: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_ZSxA6BcwA&feature=youtu.be
This school year 2013-2014, Iwacu Kazoza School opened, on September 9, 2013. In total, we have 452 students for Primary School “Grade 1-5” and for Secondary School “Grade 7-10”. With $8,821 raised during “Give for Youth Challenge”, JRMD was able to pay a part of teachers salaries, purchase some of the students and teachers books and provide school uniforms to 220 of the 452 students, schooling at Iwacu Kazoza School. As you can see from different pictures attached to this report, some of the students do not yet have school uniforms.
I am very grateful to each one of JRMD/YRWD’s donors and friends, and friends of friends who enabled JRMD/YRWD to earn a permanent spot on GlobalGiving Foundation. As a result of that, JRMD/YRWD has
three projects posted on GlobalGiving website: http://www.globalgiving.org/donate/15413/jeunesse-en-reconstruction-du-monde-en-destruction-jrmd/
Today, the school has 18 teachers, committed and well educated to provide a good education to those students from
needy families, who could not have access to education without the help of JRMD/YRWD’s donors and friends, and friends of friends. May God bless each one of them in a very special way.
During the school year 2012-2013, Iwacu Kazoza School provided education to 248 students for Primary School
(Grade 1-4) and Secondary School (Grade 7-9). During this school year 2013-2014, we urgently need to roof 2 additional classrooms for grade 5 and 10. Currently, the students of grade 5 and 10 come at school from noon to 5:30 pm, which is not fair. The two classroom are at the stage of roofing: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151530387101218&set=a.10150191650251218.313510.238561311217&type=1&theater
I would like to inform our donors and friends that we have been given a great matching opportunity through
GlobalGiving! They are offering a 30% match on all donations up to $1,000. The campaign begins at 9:00 pm Pacific Time on October 8 and 12 am Eastern Time on October 9. These funds will make a great difference as we continue to construct an orphanage that will accommodate 160 orphans and the school is educating 452 children attending the Iwacu Kazoza School: http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/providing-education-to-450-youths-in-ruhagarika/
I do not want to finish writing this report without expressing my thanks to the leadership of GlobalGiving Foundation for connecting us with donors at worldwide level and serve together our community in Burundi, Africa.
With much thanks and appreciation,
