Noella is in Primary Four and Lionel is in Primary Five at Saint Vincent Pallotti Primary School in Gikondo. They have been receiving support from Canal Rwanda for over four years. I'm happy that my children have never missed school and receive additional support, including food, throughout all these years. They perform well academically and are also being nurtured spiritually through religious classes. She added: They are provided with everything they need. I'm overjoyed because they've never been sent home for school fees. Their older brothers, however, were not as fortunate. They performed well, but couldn't receive their report cards due to unpaid fees, which forced them to drop out early. I am deeply grateful to Canal .
