Your donations directly help support each of these life changing programs.
The JOY Scholarship: Lighting the Path to Education
Imagine a young student in Rwanda, brimming with potential but hindered by financial barriers. The JOY Scholarship exists to change that narrative. By covering tuition, educational materials, and essential expenses, we empower dedicated students to pursue their academic dreams. Beyond financial support, we offer mentorship and encouragement, walking alongside them as they overcome challenges and strive for excellence.
Welding Workshops: Forging Futures
In our welding workshops, sparks fly—not just from metal, but from newfound ambition. Led by experienced instructors, these hands-on classes teach everything from basic techniques to advanced skills. Offered free to community members, our welding program equips individuals with a valuable trade, opening doors to employment and self-sufficiency.
Computer Classes: Bridging the Digital Divide
In today's digital world, computer literacy is not a luxury—it's a necessity. Our computer classes for children offer a safe and nurturing environment to explore technology. From basic literacy to coding and programming, we equip young minds with skills that open up a world of possibilities, fostering problem-solving abilities and creative thinking.
Sewing Classes: Stitching Stories of Empowerment
A needle and thread can do more than create garments—they can weave stories of empowerment. Our sewing classes, open to all skill levels, provide individuals with the tools to express creativity and gain economic independence. Through personalized instruction, students transform fabric into fashion and aspirations into achievements.
Carpentry Education – Building Skills, Building Lives
With each measured cut and carefully driven nail, our carpentry students aren’t just building projects—they’re building themselves. In our workshops, wood transforms into tables, chairs, and cabinets, but the real transformation happens within. Students gain patience, precision, and the satisfaction of creating something lasting with their own hands. Every finished piece is more than a product; it’s a testament to newfound confidence, craftsmanship, and the foundation for a stronger future.
Nourishing Hope
in Rwanda
In a small feeding center in Rwanda, thirty children gather each day—not just for a meal, but for a chance to grow, learn, and thrive. Each child is carefully selected in collaboration with local leaders, prioritizing those most critically malnourished and from the poorest households. For many, the journey is short to ensure they can attend regularly; for all, the impact is immeasurable. With every bowl of food, strength returns, smiles emerge, and futures brighten.
Their progress is lovingly tracked—measuring weight, height, and the fading signs of malnutrition—so each child’s transformation is not just seen, but celebrated. Though the need is greater than our resources today, every child fed brings us closer to a Rwanda where no child goes hungry.
Your generosity. Their success.
Thanks to many generous hearts, students of the JOY Mission Scholarship Program are leading meaningful, and joyous lives.
