Description & Show Notes

Our latest SANUSPLANET podcast episode highlights a topic that concerns us all: every child’s right to love, protection, education, and a safe future.

In the episode Help a Child, Change a Life: Family, Dignity & Hope in Rwanda
Maggy speaks with Jean Baptiste Ukurikiyimana, founder of the Help a Child Initiative in Rwanda.
The education-focused organization is committed to addressing the root causes of disadvantage and social exclusion. HCI supports vulnerable children and young people, including orphans, street children, children with disabilities, young mothers, and girls from low-income families.

By combining quality education with psychosocial support, family-based care, child protection, and vocational training, HCI creates safe and nurturing environments where children can grow with confidence, resilience, and hope for the future.

This episode offers powerful insights into the realities many children in Rwanda face — while also showing how compassion, community support, and access to education can create lasting change.
💛 Help a Child Initiative is currently also featured in the SANUSAPP voting tool and appreciates every form of support.
