Itafari organizes many awareness-building events

or other occasion.

Individual Donation Opportunities
Buy a Goat ($25):
Purchase a nanny goat for twenty-five dollars each,
which will be given to cooperatives of Child Headed
Households. We have formed 35 cooperatives of 10
children each who will be given 15 Nanny Goats and a
South African Billy Boer Goat that will be cross bred.
These goats will birth kids, provide fertilizer that can
be sold and used to grow grass, eventually sold for meat
and give children a chance to care for themselves, start
their own businesses and become empowered.
Buy a brick ($75):
It takes so little to make a
bright new future for the people of Rwanda. Sponsor a
brick that will be engraved with your name and placed on
the front of the Kigali Parents Secondary School (KPSS).
The children will remember always that people all over
the world believe in them. Read Vicky's Itafari blog to
learn more about the KPSS Project and the Itafari Tour
of Hope.
About the KPSS: Education is key to poverty reduction
and this high school will provide the highest level of
affordable education available in Rwanda. The KPSS is
open to all students regardless of ethnic or religious
views. Mission statement: to provide affordable quality
education and hope for a better future to the children
of Rwanda. Vision statement: to produce the most
skillful competitive citizens who are models of servant
leadership in their communities.
Provide a MicroLoan (suggested - $100,
or any amount): We work directly
with non-governmental agencies (NGOs) in Rwanda who
have recognized, well-run and managed micro-loan
programs in Rwanda. Information about loan recipients
and our organization partners will be provided in our
semi-annual newsletter.
