Hope Haven Rwanda

Today is an exciting milestone for our Hope Haven graduates pursuing careers as medical doctors and healthcare professionals! 💚

These aspiring healthcare leaders have officially begun their internships at La Croix du Sud Hospital, one of Rwanda’s largest private hospitals, located in Remera-Gisimenti in Gasabo District.

With more than 18 specialties, including internal medicine, gynecology and obstetrics, pediatrics, dentistry, urology, ENT, and more, La Croix du Sud provides an incredible environment for our graduates to learn, grow, and gain hands-on experience.

We are so proud to watch the next generation of Rwandan healthcare professionals take this important step toward their dreams! 💚

Meet Stessy. 💚
At just 6 years old, she loves to draw, color, play with her friends, and dream about becoming a doctor someday.
But behind her bright smile is a family working hard just to make ends meet. Stessy’s mother is raising her children on her own, taking whatever work she can find to provide food and a small home for her family.
Still, Stessy dreams big.
Becoming her Hope Angel means helping give Stessy the opportunity to learn, grow, and pursue the future she imagines for herself.
You can help Stessy keep dreaming. Become her Hope Angel at the link in our bio today. 💚

We were honored to welcome Her Excellency Ambassador Einat Weiss, Ambassador of Israel to Rwanda, to the Hope Haven Christian School campus, where she was warmly received by Hope Haven Founder and President Susan Hollern

Speaking to our students during her visit, H.E. Ambassador Weiss encouraged them to recognize and be grateful for the opportunities before them, to thank God for the doors that have opened, and to make the most of every chance they receive.

Reflecting on Hope Haven’s work—from education to agriculture and the many opportunities being created for young people—she described Hope Haven School as a unique project and Susan’s work as a “holy work.”

Most importantly, she shared her hope for what comes next: “I see this as the start of a long-term partnership with Hope Haven.”

We are grateful for her visit, her words of encouragement to our students, and the possibilities ahead.

A uniform should never stand between a child and their education.
Right now, 74 students at Hope Haven Christian School need uniforms as they begin the school year.
The cost to outfit all 74 students is $7,259.
That’s $7,259 standing between these students and a confident first day of school.
Will you help us put 74 students in uniform and ready to learn?
Every gift brings us one step closer. ❤️ Learn more about Back-to-School at the link in our bio.

The backpacks are full.
The classrooms are buzzing.
And once again, the halls of Hope Haven are filled with the sound of children learning, laughing, and dreaming.
There’s something powerful about the first days of school.
A child walks through the gates carrying more than books. They carry possibility.
Behind every bright smile is a family hoping for something simple and profound: a chance for their child to learn, grow, and build a different future.
Today, the school year begins again at Hope Haven Christian School.
And so does another year of possibility.
Here’s to full classrooms, curious minds, big dreams, and the students who remind us just how far a good education can take you. ❤️

An unforgettable journey into the heart of the wild. 🦍🌿
Gorilla trekking is nothing short of extraordinary—walking through Rwanda’s lush forests and coming face-to-face with these incredible creatures. Even more special: seeing Kambere, the gorilla named by our founder, Susan Hollern, during the Kwita Izina naming ceremony.

A truly unforgettable experience and a powerful reminder of why protecting these magnificent animals matters. 💚
