countries in central Africa with a population around 10.5 million
people. Rwanda is the most densely populated country in
Africa. Comparatively, Rwanda is a

city of Kigali is in the center of the country. Rwanda suffered a
major civil war in April 1994. This civil war lasted for 100
days. Estimations between 800,000 to 1 million people were killed
in this genocide. Rwanda is populated
by 3 ethnic groups: (Hutu - 84%), (Tutsi - 15%), and (Twa -
1%). Rwandans are
predominantly Christian. Rwanda has 3 official languages:
Kinyarwanda, French, and English. Rwanda has one
of the highest
levels of poverty - 60% live below the poverty line and 10-12% of the
population
suffer from food insecurity every year.
The average Rwandan's life expectancy is about 50 years
old. On average, Rwandan males live to 49.25 years old and the

About Rukeribuga Fidele:
Rukeribuga Fidele is a 27 year
old
born
again Christian who is trying to help his family survive.
Each day is a struggle for them to live. He is the head of the
household, since his father died. He
has taken upon himself to take care of his family. He wants to
support them (all seven) by getting a
good job, but he is
uneducated. He knows that the only way for him to support them
and to get a
good job is to get educated. So, he has moved into the
city, Kigali City, where he has enrolled in a computer course and
taking English classes. God has given him a vision that he will
help his family
by supporting them and getting them a better place to live, but in the
meantime he is asking for help. He is asking
for prayers and assistance to help him with his accomodations, food,
and school fees.
