| The Cause… |
Agahozo Shalom Youth Village (ASYV)
They create a safe and structured residential
community for orphaned children in Rwanda.
The village will be a place of hope, where traumatized youth can "dry their tears" (Agahozo) and "live in peace" (Shalom). |
| An Inspiration… |
Eventually the village will be home to 500 youths, graduating 125 students from High School a year.
Within this caring environment, the rhythm of life will be restored, so that youth who have been through great trauma will find a home and a community, as well as a place to learn and become leaders for tomorrow. The youth who come to live and learn in the ASYV will grow into healthy adults who are not only able to care for themselves and their families, but who are also committed to making their community, their country, and indeed the world a better place.
A unique and ambitious project, the ASYV will serve as a model for caring for the disrupted lives of youth across Rwanda, Africa, and beyond, to wherever there are traumatized youth who need a place to call home. |
