OUR CHALLENGES

• The Izere Center has no vehicles to help with its numerous activities, including transferring serious cases to district or city hospitals.
• The Center is much too small for the number of clients seen. There is only a meeting hall, small offices, 10 small bedrooms and a poorly equipped kitchen.
• The Center cannot pay tuition for students to continue their education up to High school.
• The center is struggling to pay the staff , provide basic needs such as food, clothing, & school materials to the many children under our care because of its limited budget.
. The Center and Byumba diocese is stuggling to build a vocational center for these orphans.
