A new year, school, and outlook on life! 160 students at Advocates Christian Academy in Rwanda, Africa are now working hard to become the future leaders of Africa. Their studies include many of the traditional subjects such as math, history, social studies and english. However, they also study Bible and leadership to build a strong foundation for their futures. Students at ACA are eager to learn. For many, this is their first exposure to school.

FUTURE
OF
AFRICA
IS
HERE
ACA was strategically built in one of the poorest areas of Rwanda because we believe the opportunity to become a world changer shouldn’t be limited by your economic status or your location. The fact that a school of this size was constructed in just over a year, is a testament to God’s extreme desire for ALL children to live out their full potential. ACA campus (phase 1)
Often asked questions… 1. How do we accomplish so much? As John Maxwell said, “Team work makes the dream work!” The enormous impact we are making is only possible because of the amazing team God has assembled in Africa. Below are the hard working people that are accomplishing the vision of Advocates For Africa.

2. Do children pay tuition? No. The truth is, the children in this area of Rwanda are not capable of paying anything. In fact, most families surrounding the school live in mud houses, have no running water, no electricity, and live on less than $20 per month. EVERY student at ACA is a sponsored child. Thankfully, BASIC NEEDS such as food, health care, wellness checks, school uniforms and supplies are covered through our $39 monthly sponsorships. This $39/mo is essential to the well-being of the child, but as you can imagine, doesn’t quite cover the full educational expenses of a school like ACA.
“Families near our school live on less than $20 per month” 3. How is the school funded? We’ve worked extremely hard to get the educational cost of ACA down to $125/mo per child, or $1500/yr. This covers everything for the child including daily meals. Here are a few ways we’ve been able to meet this need. 1. 2. 3. 4.
All ACA students have the basic sponsorship of $39/mo per child, leaving only $86/mo needed. In 2021 we received a generous grant that covered educational expenses for several months. We dedicated key fundraising events directly to ACA. We launched the “Advocates Scholarship Fund” which allows individuals, businesses, and churches to be DIRECTLY involved in helping these children in a BIG WAY!
4. How can I be involved? We believe you’ll agree that when it comes to the future and well-being of a child, we ALL must get involved, and SOON! Considering the immediate educational needs of these children, would you consider helping to provide a month, 3 months, 6 months, or a full year of education at ACA through the Advocates Scholarship Fund? ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
