"I want to help people first and think about myself later. There are many traumatized people in my country and I feel it is my detiny to help them." - Esther
Esther’s family has experienced unthinkable trauma, which led to being raised by a single mother living with significant longterm illness. Esther is the middle daughter of three sisters. She is incredibly strong and amazingly resilient. Inspired by her mother’s strength and courage, together with the compassionate care provided by the doctors in her community, Esther will graduates this summer with a degree in Public Health. Her vision is to start her own community healthcare organization and empower youth in her community to go to school.
Everything Esther does encourages strength and self-confidence in others. Your support enabled and empowered Esther to create a powerful community impact project in which she counseled young women, showing them their full potential as strong, educated women. In 2017, Esther initiated a Debate Competition among our university scholars to encourage exceptional critical thinking and persuasive public speaking. This year, after graduation, she will be putting her education into practice by traveling to Rwanda’s rural communities to provide health education that equips and empowers people to manage the effects and care of non-communicable diseases.
