At least 3,816 children have benefited from Kicukiro-based New Life Bible Church under Africa New Life Ministries.
The church has directly supported children in Education and health including those children picked from the street and turned into normal life.
The Minister of Gender and Family Promotion Alyoisia Inyumba(pictured below) has also been mesmerized by the works of Kicukiro-based Church.
Inyumba was the guest of honor at the church’s celebration of 10 years of what has been achieved. She said that the church was complimenting government programmes.
Minister Inyumba was referring to the church’s programmes offered to cater for children, families and promotion of Girls’ education.
“After the 1994 Genocide, the government was solely doing almost everything. We had orphans and widows that needed support. It is good to see this kind of partnership with the church,” Inyumba said in her speech.
“This is a new revelation in our country. I have witnessed how you have shown your efforts helping children, and their families plus promoting girls education, this is my day,”. She added.
She said that the church in Rwanda is becoming potential partner to the government in developing the country and helping Rwandans attain good life.
At the celebration, Africa New Life Ministries also announced full scholarships to eight girls from needy families to University.
“We are proud to announce that these girls will be getting all necessary requirements they need to pursue farther education at different universities, from tuition fees, stationeries, to the clothes and the rest,” Charles Mugisha the senior pastor of the church said while announcing the lucky girls.
Odeth Murekatete , 20 year old girl from Kageyo where Rwandans from Tanzania have camped said she took the scholarship as a miracle from God.
“I had sat for my senior six in 2009 and had lost hope. I am happy for this scholarship but I also see it as a miracle from God,” Said Murekatete from a family of 11 children now in the camp.
