He is blind but has a big dream. He wants to rollout a gospel music album into production.
Mwizerwa Jean d`Amour 28, badly needs financial support to release his gospel songs for production. He strongly believes that a day will come and be able to release his songs for production.
Mwizerwa was born in Rwamagana district. He later moved to Kigali in 2008 in search of treatment for an infection that had affected his eyes.
He told IGIHE that he consulted various doctors in Kigali to treat him for his eyes condition but all was in vain.
His eyes pained so much that he had to go to Kanombe hospital early in 2008 for an operation that was not enough to save his sight.
Despite the sight problems, Mwizerwa is always dreaming for a day when he will be able to work to improve his life.
He has a list of gospel songs that contain a message that can help people to keep a positive attitude despite life challenges.
Asked what kind of help he wish, Mwizerwa said that losing sight doesn`t stop one from thinking. He went on by saying that he can work with others who can see as he is still young and can contribute ideas.
He narrated that if there was a school for blind people, he could learn a trade that can empower him to be productive.
His condition has made it impossible for him to work and was forced into begging for a living and supporting his family.
Mwizerwa can be found begging at a strategic location in the city center-precicely at a Bus stop located at National institute of statistics.
He told Igihe that he is not proud of what he is doing now to survive but promises that when he gets an alternative opportunity to sustain himself and his family he will immediately stop begging.
Mwizerwa has a family of three children and a wife that depend on him. They live in Rwamagana and he has to send them money to help them.
