Hello!

My name is Giselle and I live in the western part of Rwanda with my parents and 2 siblings. I study the Tourism and Hospitality trade at Kivu Hills Academy (KHA). I also like playing soccer and singing a lot, although my dream is to become a hotel manager and businesswoman! I want to bring people to visit my beautiful community of Boneza and teach them the traditional Rwandan culture. I maintain excellent grades, I am well disciplined and hardworking, and I have an entrepreneurial spirit, so I believe I can make my dream a reality now with my education at KHA.

My parents are farmers and they grow different crops, but primarily coffee. We have about 100 coffee trees and we sell the coffee beans to the local washing station in Boneza. This is a modest source of income for my family, providing us with about $1 per day. With that, they can’t afford my tuition and so I am very blessed to receive tuition assistance from generous donors so I can study at KHA.

Thank you so much for giving my family and me the privilege to go to school. You gave us hope after I had lost it. Thank you for loving me without knowing me.

I ask that you please kindly consider making a donation towards tuition assistance so that others like me have an opportunity to study and follow their dreams.
