EDUCATION PROGRAM: A Story of Hope and Transformation

Big congratulations to NZIGAMINEZA Desire, our sponsored student who has just embarked on a university journey at the University of Rwanda to study the BACHELOR OF DENTAL THERAPY Program for the next 4 years. In partnership with “Compelled By Love,” CARSA has sponsored Desire’s higher education by paying her registration fees, brand new laptop, and essential materials, such as mattresses, kitchen tools, bedsheets, bags, and other necessities for university life.

We believe that investing in children's education and well-being is essential for creating a brighter future. Through the Education Sponsorship Program (ESP), we offer vulnerable students the tools they need to thrive. By addressing their obstacles and empowering their goals, we assist in laying the foundation for a more sustainable and fulfilling future.

“Before CARSA came into my life, I was a young person filled with uncertainty, and this was not only for me; it was also for my family. My family’s financial struggles and the lack of opportunities around me made it hard to focus on my education. Each day felt like a battle, and slowly, I began to lose faith in my ability to achieve my dreams. The poverty and hopelessness made me question myself about whether I would ever have anything good in my life. After that, I met CARSA, and it started to help me to improve both academically and mentally. With the help of CARSA, I received not just financial support for my education but also mentorship and counseling. Their goal was not just about helping me to succeed academically—it was about healing and building resilience. Through their training, I learned to confront my fears and rediscover my self-worth. CARSA believed in me when I couldn't; they helped me, and I gained more confidence. I improved my academic performance. Beyond academics, I found a renewed sense of purpose. I started dreaming again, setting goals, and working hard to achieve them.”

Let us continue investing in education as the foundation for a brighter, more inclusive world. Together, we can combat ignorance, break barriers, and foster harmony—one student, one lesson, and one generation at a time.

Join us in creating brighter futures for thousands of children in Rwanda. Visit www.carsaministry.org to learn more about our sponsorship education programs and how you can make an impact.
