Before Genocide: There was a lack of Education
due to Genocide Ideology
Before Genocide we used to live in big families and the lives
were average, many families were cultivators and farmers where
people used to Drink milk and eat potatoes, cassava, beans etc
The Genocide of 1994 was planned and executed with such
atrocity that within 100 days it took the lives of more than
million people of Rwanda. The survivors of the massacres were
mainly orphans, many of whom found themselves as children
suddenly heads of the household; widows, grandmothers living
along without children or family, women infected with AIDS as
the result of victimization by rape, and those left handicapped
either physically or mentally. These massacres have left a
population traumatized, destitute, homeless and penniless,
without the means to survive on their own.
We become Homeless and
Fear to go back due to the
Killers
Sometimes it's easy
to walk by because we
know we can't change
someone's whole life
in a single afternoon.
But what we fail to
realize it that simple
kindness can go a long
way toward
encouraging someone
who is stuck in a
desolate place.
Head of the families
After losing our
parents we had to
assume a role of
parenting actually
needed to be
parented. I was 16
years old . The
lives was not easy
All of the members in the village of Kinyinya were placed here as the
result of the donations from the government of Rwanda. Because of

Good Governance
Consequences of
Genocide
Many were too young
to understand and still
dont understand why
Neighbors, friends,
children, teachers, and
church Leaders were
involved in massacres
that decimated their
families
 Issue and Challenges of Young
Girls heading the families ( Hungry )
During the 1994
Genocide against the
Tutsi many kids lost their
parents and extended
families. These orphans
often had to assume a
parental role for their
younger brothers and
sisters while still trying
to be kids themselves.
The lack of education
and resources left them
especially vulnerable.
This vulnerability often
results in unwanted
pregnancies, and many
young, single mothers
unable to provide
sufficient childhood care,
including education.
In all this process of luck of money I had become pregnant without even
knowing what being pregnant I was just thought I was sick .I was may be
only under 16 . Janet said

TOGETHER WE SUCCEED
 Who We Are
Albert Musabyimana was born in 1978 in
Kamonyi District. He was 16 years old
during the 1994 Tutsi Genocide. Prior to
the Genocide, he lived a happy childhood
with a large extended family, however,
only he and his 2 sisters survived. Having
been the oldest of the surviving siblings,
Albert took on the responsibility of
looking after his younger sisters and
ensuring that they lived a healthy and
happy life, the same way he did before
1994. Albert went on to completing a
bachelors degree at the Kigali Institute of
Science and Technology.
In 2005, Albert was selected
amongst other child headed families
to receive housing as part of an
initiative to support Rwandan youth
that was greatly affected by the 1994
Tutsi Genocide. After receiving his
education and having a home for his
family, Albert decided he needed to
create an initiative that would better
the lives of people that were greatly
affected by the 1994 Tutsi Genocide
so he decided to start the Peace and
Hope Initiative

 Effective Early Childhood Development helps kids
at risk of poor development due to a lack of
parental care and learning opportunities to break
free from the poverty cycle in Rwanda.
Peace and Hope Initiative was founded in 2012,
and served 48 children.
But later , in 2015, it serves 140 vulnerable
children.
Our goal is to serve over 400 children by 2016.
 CHILDREN'S RIGHTS
Child labor and poverty are inevitably bound together and if you continue to
use the labor of children as the treatment for the social disease of poverty,
you will have both poverty and child labor to the end of time

 How does The Peace and Hope Initiative
contribute to the community in Kinyinya? Making
the kids Smart
The Kuranza (meaning
"good growth") project
offers early childcare and
education enabling
underprivileged kids to
learn and play in a safe and
caring environment. Kids
are provided education,
nutrition, counseling,
water and sanitation
services through skilled
caretakers during the key
developmental stages. The
project supports kids from
families with no means to
afford to pay for a nursery
school/kindergarten.
Currently approx. 140 kids
attend the nursery, the aim
is to expand the capacity to
200.
Single and young Mothers Meeting with Peace and Hope
Initiative Leaders : to motivate them

Quality early childhood care and

education must value and support the
role of parents. Open, honest and
respectful partnership with parents is
essential in promoting the best
interests of the child. Mutual
partnership contributes to establishing
harmony and continuity between the
diverse environments the child
experiences in the early years. The
development of connections and
interactions between the early
childhood setting, parents, the
extended family and the wider
community also adds to the
enrichment of early childhood
experiences by reflecting the
environment in which the child lives
and grows.

Education : Supporting
vulnerable Children
especially young girls
because a girl who
attends school
reduces her chances
of getting unwanted
pregnancies and HIV
by 60%; if she attends
advanced school, by
85%.
Education is the
movement from Darkness
to light .

important medium
through which the
child interacts with,
explores and makes
sense of the world
around her/his.

children to progress their Staudies
 Long Term Project
The project aims to
reduce vulnerability of
200 kids in the Kinyinya
community.
Improvement in the
children's' development,
wellbeing and learning
ability will increase their
chances to successfully
pass primary school and
succeed in higher
education, which is
essentially the key to
breaking the poverty
cycle.
KURANEZA SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM
Following the genocide, thousands of children were left without
parents or sent to different orphanages from their siblings. Some
went to live with relatives and foster families but this has
resulted in many finding themselves orphaned again by their
guardians dying from Aids, while others have been rejected
Play is central to the well-being, development and learning of
the young child
