{{Gisagara}}: {The Former street child’s family who lives in Gisagara District, Nyamugari cell has commended “Shelter Them Batarure” Foundation for an important assistance given to them after finding that they need help in order to live well}
The donations include two well constructed houses, goats and mattresses valued at Rwf 5 Million.
“Shelter Them Batarure” built this house after knowing that one of its former street child Niyomugabo Jean Claude, also helped by Shelter Them Batarure, has a family in Gisagara District and he has left it because of the living conditions which were bad.
Niyomugabo Jean Claude is a child of Nemeye Jean Damascene and the third among nine children of his family.
He left home in 2005 and became a street child in Kigali City.
Fortunately Shelter Them Batarure has taken him from that life while at the same time helping him to feel well
In 2014, Shelter Them Batarure has heard that the former street child has a family in Gisagara and so they decided to help his family
In this regards as a part of series of charity actions, on 13th March 2015, Shelter Them Batarure has given two houses to the family of Niyomugabo one of them being given to his grandmother and this was done to help Niyomugabo to return home where he will no longer suffer from depressing living conditions.
Pastor Gakwaya Jean, who represented “Shelter them Batarure” during the handover of those houses advised parents to give birth to children they can provide appropriate care so as to prevent them from becoming street children.
He said “A child receives Education from parents and Parents should not only take care of their children but also ensure their appropriate care.”
Pastor Gakwaya reiterated that “Shelter Them Batarure” is supporting Government’s plan of closing orphanages to ensure all children are brought up in a family set-up.
Mpayimana Eric, the Executive Secretary of Nyamugari Cell commended “Shelter them Batarure” and requested the parents to take care of their children and avoid that they escape from home though some children also are not satisfied with their families living style.
Apart from houses, the family was given five mattresses and five blankets, breeds as well as Water tanks.
The “Shelter Them Batarure” Foundation was founded by two Rwandans, Bukuru Josephine Murphy and Butoyi Joselyne Alexandre currently living in Canada, who requested a parcel to the President of the Republic during the “Rwanda Day” held in Toronto in September 2013.
A plot of 2 hectares was given to them in the Nyarugenge sector, Bugesera District and they are to build a school of excellence..
