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.

Why I want to help
Hussein's family
Help Pierre-Celestine Story

I want to help Hussein because no one should face such severe problems alone. His strength, devotion, and unshakable commitment to his family inspire admiration and compassion. As someone who works with children, I understand the importance of allowing young people to break out from poverty and establish better lives. Supporting Hussein requires more than just providing accommodation and resources; it is about bringing hope to a family that has been through many hardships and empowering them to move forward.

I believe in the ability of the community to band together and provide his children with the opportunities they deserve. This is an opportunity to demonstrate how kindness and solidarity can transform lives and show that there is power in unity, even amid adversity.

Please consider donating to help build a new home for Hussein's family. Any amount makes a difference.
Sincerely, Yasmin
