Rwanda School Tuition Project

Summary:

In 2007, I collected over $5000 in school tuition support from friends and colleagues. These donations went to children in Girls FAWE School (public boarding school, Grades 7-12) and Kigali Parents' School (private day school, Grades Pre-primary-6).

Donations are ongoing, and can be made easily as a one-time or renewing gift. The suggested amount is US$300.00/year, which is easily over the per capita income in Rwanda of US$236.00.

To make a donation, please email me at ppasick@gmail.com
