A Mother’s Faith and a Son’s Future | Rwanda

Kevin’s story is one deeply affected by incarceration, where hardship could have easily stolen his hope. Yet God’s provision came through a devoted mother that faithfully followed every detail of The Child’s Journey with Kevin and his siblings for eight years. Kevin’s mother took their education seriously, meeting with caseworkers whenever they struggled, determined to see them succeed. Her commitment turned challenges into triumphs as her children excelled in school.

Through The Child’s Journey, Kevin found guidance, mentorship and a supportive community that shaped his character and faith. He often visited the program office, creating opportunities for encouragement and accountability. This allowed him to grow closer to staff, making it easier for him to receive their guidance, especially in matters of discipline and education. That investment bore fruit when Kevin’s academic excellence captured the Rwanda Defense Forces’ attention, earning him a scholarship to study at university. His story reflects how God’s love, a mother’s faith and the team’s care can transform broken beginnings into stories of purpose and promise.
