Founder

”My Existence is to Praise God and Help others “ Marie Claudine Mukamabano

The Genocide in Rwanda has brought many orphans, widowers/widows disabled in many different ways, and a large number of HIV/AIDS victims.Rwanda is facing all kinds of problems, such as poverty, lack of knowledge and advocacy on a daily basis.

” This is why I stand before you today, I need your help and my people need you assistance “ (Marie Claudine Mukamabano/ Rwanda Mult -Talented/ Performing arts).

After losing my parents,sister,cousins, aunts ,uncles , grands parents, loved ones, friends, classmates, and fellow countrymen during the Genocide and War in Rwanda.

My Catholic faith inspiried me to seek the answer to the question of KUKI NDIHo?(Why do I exist?-Pourquoi J’existe?).

So,I founded KUKI NDIHO RWANDA ORPHANS SUPPORT PROJECT with a Mission to advocate orphan children (mostly street kids,) whom their parents were either killed during genocide, or died of AIDS/HIV.

The project’s current goals and Mission : are to find sponsors and pen – pals who can support genocide orphans both financially and emotionally.

Other goals include assisting widowers of HIV/AIDS victims,helping Rwandan women, fighting against rural exodus,promoting education,aiding youth employment,promoting Rwandan artists and culture through tourism,and facilitating inter cultural exchange with foreign countries.

*Accomplishments*

200 children studying in Primary school , High School /Secondary school in Rwanda, we work towards finding other children or parents around the world to correspond.

This correspondence will help them to overcome the trauma and realize that at least someone cares for them and therefore they will no longer feel lonely.

KUKI NDIHO? Members and founder would greatly appreciate your support in this way of reconciliation and forgiveness in Rwandan youth community. Thank you and be blessed

Dear Ms. Mukamabano,

Dear Marie Claudine

I am very happy to have met you at our Ugandan Independence celebrations in Manhattan. Your love and enthusiasm was great and now after perusing through this great work of KUKI NDIHO I do want to thank you and encourage to continue doing so. Thank you for remembering the less fortunate. Most of us get here and just think about ourselves instead of working for those that are marginalized and destitute back home. Thank you for not only being an ambossodar of peace but also of hope and love. I cannot wait to see you or to work with you again. May God blessed your work.

” I thank the Kuki Ndiho Foundation for being proactive in bringing people’s attention to the needs of children in Rwanda. Our help is vital to providing them with the tools they need to succeed in the future.

The time that I spent in Rwanda working for the Kuki Ndiho Foundation made me truly appreciate Rwandan culture and the country’s people, who have shown such resilience in the face of the hardships resulting from the genocide of 1994. Rwanda’s people continue to build strength in Rwandan identity, shedding divisions over ethnic tensions .

”Jennifer BELLISARIO KUKI NDIHO Foundantion’s intern Summer 2010
I was so excited to meet you when you came to Mary Help of Christians Academy that in words I am not able to express how I felt. It was amazing to see you speak about the genocide with such calmness. I truly saw that in you there was peace. I am very grateful that I got the chance to meet you and I proudly wear the pin that you gave me. Once again thanks for coming to our school.

Hi it is Elisa Hack we met at church on Sunday. I know helping change the world can sometimes be a overwhelming task. If we all can choose one place to help then we can transform that one place in way we can. I choose Rwanda and I would like to support you in anyway I can.
Keep in touch,
— Elisa, student

Congratulations and please, never stop doing your things. This effort will benefit all of us and Rwanda as whole and for all in the future and I am very proud of you. Please, let us know if we can help on anything, providing some T-shirts that describe the event or something. In case you are interested, we can work on the design and provide you completed t-shirts at a very reasonable price.
