Hussein Story

Hussein's journey has been marked by resilience and hardship. He and his mother fled to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1994, narrowly escaping the genocide. They lived in refugee camps until returning to Rwanda two years later.

Hussein eventually met Cecile, and they built a life together, starting a family. In 2000, Hussein secured a three-year contract as a driver for an electrical company, enabling him to purchase an older house with his savings. However, when the contract ended, Hussein struggled to find employment. Despite his efforts, Hussein was unable to secure another job.

Soon afterward, Cecile was diagnosed with intestinal cancer, and Hussein became her primary caregiver f until her passing in 2020. Now, Hussein faces the challenge of providing for his family as a single parent. Tresore is the only child in school, thanks to the kindness of neighbors who have helped with school fees. Jasmine and Ramsig, Hussein's other children, are without employment, having discontinued their education at primary six.

Let's come together as a community to support Hussein and his family during this difficult time, providing them shelter and the resources they need to rebuild their lives.
