About 141 poor students have been given Frw 58.5M in donation to fund their education in the universities and secondary schools. Africa Muslim Agency provided the donation.
Beneficiaries were urged to value knowledge acquired from their learning institutions and work hard because their success will determine their development and that of the nation.
The event took place at the Islamic recreational centre also known as “kwa Kadafi”.
The beneficiaries and their parents attended the event to receive the funds.
Nzanahayo Kassim, the director of the Africa Muslim Agency explained that students are not only selected because they lack the means to fund their education but also according to their academic performance hence only the best performing students are selected.
The Africa Muslim agency was established in 1981 and has branches in 29 countries across Africa including Rwanda.
Rwanda’s branch focuses on the development of the Muslim community and Rwandans in general in the fields of social welfare, education, health, issues related to food insecurity and disasters.
