It’s a nonprofit that helps pay school fees for less fortunate students in high school, support orphans by buying them school supplies and paying health insurance for widows and orphans as well in the hometown where I was born in at Kigali, Rwanda. We started that because there was a genocide in Rwanda that affected my family so my family decided to start offering the support.”
