Construction on our facility expansion in Rwanda continues on progress and is on track to finish in early 2021!
We are so excited to have a second rehabilitative center and administrative building, allowing Hope for Life to serve even more youth on their healing journey from homelessness to reuniting with families.
Construction has also provided several HFL beneficiaries the opportunity to work and gain valuable job skills.
Six of the young adults who are working towards becoming financially independent were hired by the construction company, allowing them to not only learn a new trade, but to earn money and practice financial independence.
We are so proud to see them grow and be a part of creating something that will help other youth thrive!
Thank you to all who have contributed to our construction efforts!
