Loic Ishimwe
Location: Nyamirambo, Rwanda
Age: 14
Hobbies: dance
Sponsorship need: Secondary School ($1,000)
When he is older, Loic wants to start his own NGO like MindLeaps!
13-year-old Loic lives at home with his mom and younger sibling. Loic’s father left the family, so his mother has to take care of the children on her own. She sometimes has to jump between jobs as they become available but most often works in construction or gardening for people in her neighborhood. Because work was unstable and money hard to come by, Loic’s school fees used to be very difficult for her to pay. Since joining MindLeaps, Loic has been able to attend school without worries. He still finds French and science very difficult but is willing to work hard and study every day.
