You Made a Difference—Voices of Gratitude from Africa
Students of the New Hope Technical Institute in Rwanda share their Appreciation
As you are aware, Women's Federation for World Peace (WFWP) USA has been raising funds to support our ten schools in Africa. We recently received a wonderful thank you from the New Hope Technical Institute in Rwanda. Our support of $2,485.00 from WFWP USA enabled them to acquire new supplies to assist students in their education: Cooking appliances were given to the culinary arts program, sewing machines for the tailoring course, and mannequin heads for the beautician and hairdressing courses.
A big Thank You to all who donated and created fundraisers in 2022 to raise money for our WFWP Schools of Africa Program. All donations received are transferred once a year to various schools based on the needs communicated to us. Admin costs are carried by WFWP USA. We will continue to update you as we receive reports and thank you messages from the different schools.

Background about the New Hope Technical Institute
The Institute was founded in 1998 with an objective to help women become financially independent post civil war. The school also accepts many men, such as ex-soldiers, especially since 2007, when it was recommended as a school promoting a project sponsored by the World Bank. Since 1999, students who have financial difficulties have been aided through a sponsorship program. Students also take courses in English, French, and Business Administration. Courses are further enhanced by support from international volunteers.
