Be with them, not just for them.
Friendship is the heart of YIM: being with people, not only doing things for them. Here are four ways to walk alongside our students from wherever you are.
Mentor from anywhere.
Join a Doing Life Together group by video. Share your work, your faith and your failures with young leaders in Kigali or Bujumbura.
- One video call a month with a small group
- A YIM coordinator on every call
- Twelve months, then decide together whether to keep going
Walk alongside a school.
Pair your church, school or university with a YIM school in Rwanda or Burundi: letters and prayer through the year, and its student leaders sponsored to the Vision Conference.
- Twenty students to the conference for $380
- Photos and letters from your partner school
- A short talk for your congregation or assembly
Host a fundraiser.
Turn a birthday, a run or a dinner into Vision Conference seats. Every $19 sends one more student.
- We send the story, the photos and the numbers
- Your own page to share with friends
- A thank-you from the students you sent
Partner with us.
Foundations and companies can fund a programme, a district or a year of school visits, with reporting that shows the change.
- Our annual report and budget on request
- Programme visits in Rwanda and Burundi
- Clear, regular reporting
