A Partnership in Caring volunteers continue to support vulnerable persons in Rwanda. Fabrice’s family, early on in the pandemic, lost their home. Ivan, Fabrice’s older brother was deeply impacted and his schooling suffered as he was not attending. APIC is supporting the family by providing a new home. Ivan has returned to school and his latest report cards have placed him fourth in his class. Fabrice continues to do very well; socially, developmentally and emotionally. Fabrice has a younger brother and sister who are also doing very well since housing has been secured. Below is a picture of the old mud house and two pictures of their current home. Your donations to A Partnership in Caring are greatly appreciated. E-transfer to apic.rwanda@gmail.com.

Once COVID hit he was quarantined at home, rather than being in school and spending time with the Benebikira Sisters. When COVID eased, temporarily, he emerged and was unkempt, hungry, and had regressed in his developmental milestones. . He had lost weight – the Sisters were sending food, but it was uncertain how much he was getting. He and his young brother are now staying with the Sisters and getting the care they need. The young woman pictured with Fabrice is his caretaker.
leaving Rwanda, Sr. Catherine (pictured) introduced us to Queen, 5 years old. The family is very poor and the mother, Angelique, has had some serious health issues. Through the generosity of a donor, we have been able to provide the family with 2 beds (one for the mother and 2 little girls and another for the older brother) mattresses, bedding, soap, kitchen utensils ( dishes, pots and pans ), clothes and shoes, rent monies and food enough for 3 months. They are delighted.
