"Icyatsi kimwe ntikibaka inzu"
"One blade of grass does not build a house"
This wise Rwandan proverb could be adapted to Ishyaka's story as "one drop of water does not build a swimming pool." ISC has the determination and will to grow, but nothing and no one in this world succeeds alone.
We will always be grateful for your support of our mission and vision, and there are many ways you can do so.
