What is Ubaka u rwanda?

Ubaka U Rwanda is a global organization that gives Rwandan youth living on the streets a second chance at a self-sufficient, fulfilling, and purposeful life. Ubaka supports both a youth foster center and local community outreach programs in Kigali, Rwanda. Ubaka U Rwanda was co-founded by Evode Usbyamahoro, who grew up a street child himself, and started the initiative in 2003. He now lives at the youth center with his wife Rebecca, and is supported by registered charities in both the US and UK.
