From Potential to Possibility: Stories from Rwanda

From Potential to Possibility: Stories from Rwanda

During a recent visit to Rwanda, John Jordan of Transform International Canada had the opportunity to meet with students, families, and community leaders whose lives are being transformed through education, nutrition, and local partnerships. Their stories are a powerful reminder that opportunity can turn potential into possibility.

The photos below capture just a few of the many lives being impacted through these initiatives.

Recent highlights from our Rwanda Rising program include:

  • We grew from 26 university students to 37 students, thanks to a generous grant supporting girls’ education from the Universalist Community of Victoria.
  • We partnered with a local priest to fund the reintegration of 44 street-connected children back into school by providing uniforms, school supplies, and a daily nutritious meal.
  • Through the Rotary Club of Oak Bay, we funded a large vegetable garden project for a remote school’s lunch program, enabling low-income families to contribute to their children’s nutrition while supporting the school community.
