In lieu of flowers, it is the family’s request that donations be made to Anne’s life changing project – the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village (ASYV). ASYV was built to enable orphaned and vulnerable youth in Rwanda to realize their maximum potential by providing them with a safe and secure living environment, health care, education and necessary life skills. Education and service are used to model and create socially responsible citizens in Rwanda and around the world.
Anne Heyman, a Jewish philanthropist who founded a Rwandan youth village for children orphaned in that country’s 1994 genocide, died in a horse-riding accident.
Heyman, 52, died Friday afternoon after falling off a horse during a jumping competition at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Florida, The Palm Beach Post reported.
