Description
Founded in 1993 By Mrs. Marguerite BARANKITSE, Maison Shalom promotes and defend the rights and victims of war, mainly orphans, street children and children left by their families due to aids-related problems. Since 2015, more than 430,000 Burundians have fled their homeland due to political unrest and violence. 92,000 Burundian refugees now live camps in neighboring Rwanda. With Carnegie Corporation support, Maison Shalom will assist refugee students in enrolling in different universities of Rwanda in terms of school fees, academic materials, transport, and internship fees. By covering those needs in an appropriate way, this support will help the students improve the performance and therefore graduate in due time as planned by the respective high education institutions.
