Nepo's “Ni Uwacu”

During our trip to Rwanda, our team members got to sit down and learn more about our friend Nepo’s foundation for special needs children and their families. Nepo’s heart for those with special needs is absolutely precious. The foundation is called “Ni Uwacu” which means “He/ She is ours”. In Rwanda, people with disabilities are considered outcasts, less than, and even cursed. The goal of Nepo’s foundation is to empower and teach those with disabilities, as well as their families that they are worthy, chosen, and loved, and even though they might be different, they are still children of God. Some of these children have birth defects, but others have issues that could easily be fixed if they received proper medical care, but they just don’t have access to it. Right now, Nepo and his wife (who also have two children and one on the way) are paying out of their own pockets for things like insurance and school fees for each of these children, and right now there are 20 children in the program. The goal of this general fund is to raise money for special medical needs for these children, so they can receive the care that they need. Please join us first by praying for this foundation, as well as Nepo and his family, but also by sharing or donating if you feel lead.
