Why Hope for Rwanda?

15% of children are orphans because of the genocide.
2% of the population are HIV orphans because of the genocide.
250,000 women were raped during the genocide.

Spreading:

* The Good News message of hope, peace, and healing through music and dance.

Bringing:

* Hope to the homeless, the orphans, those with HIV/Aids, and vulnerable by providing shelter, nourishment, and education.
* The Mizero Troupe annually to tour in various countries outside Rwanda.
* Awareness of Rwanda’s beautiful traditions to the world.

Building:

* Self-sustaining communities through our future Arts Academy in Rwanda, which will provide them with a well-rounded, Christ-centered education including both academics and cultural traditions irregardless of of the student’s race or religion.
* Unity between various churches and humanitarian aid groups already in Rwanda.

Hope

* But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you.  Psalm 33:18-22
