Celebrating Milestones: Cedric’s Journey Toward Middle School

Just a few weeks ago, we shared Emmanuel’s exciting journey. Today, we’re delighted to introduce you to Cedric, one of 15 Flourish Rwanda children who are graduating from elementary school this year.

Cedric is currently taking Rwanda’s Primary Leaving Examinations, the national exams that mark the completion of elementary school and determine placement into secondary school — the equivalent of beginning middle school in the United States.

For Cedric, these exams represent much more than an academic milestone. They are the fruit of years of faithful investment by people like you.

“I want to thank my Flourish Rwanda supporters for your kindness and support. You paid my school fees, provided everything I needed for school, fed us, and taught us God’s Word, which has shaped my character. My friends and I are taking our national exams without worrying about being sent home for unpaid school fees or lacking the supplies we need because you have always provided for us. We are praying for excellent results. Please keep us in your prayers.”

Cedric’s words remind us that your generosity does far more than pay school fees. Through your faithful support, children receive an education, nutritious meals, biblical discipleship, healthcare, and the encouragement they need to discover the future God has prepared for them.

This year is especially exciting for the Flourish Rwanda family as 15 children are graduating from elementary school, 10 are graduating from middle school, and three are graduating from high school. Each graduation is a testimony to God’s faithfulness and to the incredible difference your partnership is making in the lives of vulnerable children.

Would you join us in praying for Cedric and the other students? Please ask God to give them peace as they complete their examinations, wisdom as they answer each question, and excellent results that will open the door to the next stage of their education.

A Current Need

As we celebrate these milestones, we also ask you to pray for Flourish Rwanda. To continue providing education, nutritious meals, healthcare, biblical discipleship, and holistic care for the children we serve, we need to raise $11,000 by the end of July.

Thank you for being a faithful Flourish Rwanda supporter. Your prayers, generosity, and encouragement are helping transform lives for Christ — one child at a time.

We invest in the lives of children and families in Rwanda so they become agents of transformation in their own country.

Families throughout Rwanda are experiencing extreme poverty and children are the most vulnerable.

In 1994, there was a genocide against the Tutsi where one million people were killed, causing significant damage to the economic and social fabric of Rwanda. The impact has been far-reaching for families of victims and perpetrators alike.

We invest in children and families so they will flourish in all areas of life.

Our child-focused community development model provides a pathway for families to thrive. We seek to restore the lives of the most vulnerable in Rwanda by addressing their most essential needs.
