Rwanda Legacy of Hope, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), has offered shelter and other necessities to over thirty street children to stop them from dwelling for help on the streets of Kigali.

The NGO notes that it has for the last six years engaged in seeking accommodation and access to education for street children that need to be catered for, and it is a good progress.

Children, it is added, will be integrated in adopting families through which they have access to good education and also from where they can be able to attend their lone vacation training.

Their vocation training will include music education, arts, and technical skills needed for future development.

On the streets of Kigali, children need food and shelter which is very impossible without NGO, parent engagement.

Rwanda legacy of hope sought assistance from abroad to help more than the registered 30,000 street children from 2011.

“When we received some of the children I realized they needed help. The one I adopted needs help and I will do that and live with him for good,” says a parent that adopted one boy from the NGO when its initiative become known to locals.

The locals know that the children need help and the parents are taking the responsibility much like the government calls them on to support the development of a responsible future Rwandans.

Console Mujawamaliya, family planning in Kigali city council, says partners should take the responsibility of catering for their own children and stop the tendency of producing for the streets.

“To produce children that partners cannot take care of is not a parental responsibility. Parents should be responsible for their children.”

A year after the NGO opened door in Rwanda, 2012, it first operated patients in Nyamata hospital and trained a medical worker, in 2013 operations were carried out in 11 districts and more medical workers were trained.

Reverend Osee Ntavuka Founder and Legal Representative of Rwanda Legacy of Hope notes there is always operations and trainings.

“I found that in my congregation in UK were talented people that could assist in helping children in Rwanda and in 2012 were in Nyamata hospital where they operated patients and trained one of the medical workers,” says Rev. Ntavuka.

It is then that the NGO and its personnel sought to take responsibility of catering for street children and finding adopting families for them.

The NGO uses informative media to have the children removed of the streets and integrated in society.

Over 48% of street children are now helped by the NGO since the government closed orphanages in 2014.

In 2014 the NGO continued treatment in 4 hospitals where 22 medical workers were trained and in the following two years 70 also got the medical skills needed to operate patients with different medical concerns.

In 2000, Ntavuka decided to set up All Nations International Church in Plymouth, UK in a move he attributes to the calling and a desire from God to bring revival to the European country.

Currently he lives in Plymouth with his family where he is a leader of the church with over 300 members.
