Success story about NISINGIZWE Valentin.
In a world where many children are faced with adversity and hardship, it is heartwarming to witness the power of support, determination, and perseverance. This story is about a Nisingizwe Valentin, young boy who, despite the challenges he faced, managed to turn his life around and became secure with the help of a HACORWA (a charitable organization based in Rwanda).
Valentin, a bright and ambitious young boy, lived in a small village in Nyaruguru District in southern province of Rwanda with his single mother. Moreover, Valentin is from a family of 4 children and he was the youngest of all. According to his story, his extended family lacked unity and no hope for a quick reconciliation was near. Also, his father had left them when he was still young, and his mother struggled to make ends meet. To make matters worse, Valentin’s father was an alcoholic who had abandoned the family, leaving his mother to care for him alone.
As a result of his father’s alcoholism, the family was constantly in marriage and financial turmoil. Valentin’s mother worked multiple jobs to support them, but the lack of a stable income made it difficult for Valentin to receive the education he needed. Despite his intelligence and potential, Valentin’s family could not afford to send him to a proper school. In the end, the mother with the two sons left and went to live in Kigali City leaving the husband with other two sisters in Nyaruguru District.
One day, a local charity group called HACORWA, popularly known for their dedication to helping underprivileged children, visited Valentin’s school called GS Gahanga (which is public school). They were impressed by Valentin’s intelligence and curiosity and decided to provide him with a full primary school scholarship. This scholarship not only covered his tuition fees but also provided him with essential school supplies, uniforms, and access to extracurricular activities including adventure trips and sports. Also, the scholarship simplified life for the lonely mother who worked as mini-shopkeeper selling vegetables and fruits in general market. Hence, she could now easily take care of the Valentine’s brother with the limited resources at home.
With the help of the HACORWA, Valentin was finally able to attend a proper school at Happy Kids School (a private primary school) and receive the education he had always dreamed of. The scholarship not only gave him access to quality education but also opened up new opportunities and experiences that he would have otherwise missed.
At school, Valentin’s teachers and classmates quickly recognized his potential and talent. He excelled in his studies and became an exemplary student. His newfound confidence and academic success inspired him to dream bigger and aim higher.
As Valentin progressed through school, he continued to receive support from the HACORWA. They not only helped him financially but also provided mentorship, guidance, and opportunities for personal growth. With each passing year, Valentin’s determination and resilience grew stronger.
Upon completing his primary education, Valentin received a scholarship to attend a Kagarama Secondary School, prestigious school. The HACORWA Organization continued to support him throughout his secondary and tertiary education, ensuring that he had access to the resources and opportunities he needed to succeed.
The story of Valentin’s transformation from a poor boy with a troubled background to a successful and determined young man is a testament to the power of support, determination, and perseverance. The HACORWA’s intervention not only changed Valentin’s life but also served as a shining example of the impact that a helping hand can have on a young person’s life.
