About the Cause
Posted by RW0235 Inkurunziza Kabare CDC in Rwanda on 09/23/2025
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Sofia who dreamed of going to school. She lived with her grandmother in a very humble house, and they didn't have the money to buy her a uniform. Every morning, Sofia watched her friends go to class and felt a deep sadness. Her situation is common in our community. Our cause addresses the lack of school uniforms, an obstacle that prevents many children from accessing education. Poverty is a real barrier, and without a uniform, many feel ashamed and end up dropping out. We will help children between the ages of 6 and 12 by providing them with a complete uniform, allowing them to attend school with dignity and confidence. We will partner with local schools to identify the children most in need and deliver the uniforms directly to them. We hope to see an increase in school attendance and for children to feel included, which will motivate them to continue their studies and dream of a better future.

How the church will sustain the cause
We determined this was one of the most urgent needs through direct communication with parents and school principals in our community. In the months leading up to the start of the school year, we heard heartbreaking stories about families who, no matter how much they wanted to, couldn't send their children to school because they didn't have the resources to buy a uniform. For many, the cost of a full uniform is unaffordable, especially in families with several children. We observed that the lack of a uniform is not only an economic problem but also has an emotional and psychological impact on children. The shame of not having the appropriate attire can lead them to avoid school, affecting their learning and their relationships with other children. We spoke with school principals, who confirmed that the lack of uniforms is one of the main reasons children don't attend school. Therefore, we felt it was critical to address this need, as by doing so, we are removing a direct barrier to education and opportunity.
To be a model church in transforming the lives of children, youths and caregivers and have Christians who are spiritually mature in a better community.
