Br. Rene D. Roy Scholarship Fund,for Rwandan Youth

25 years ago a man stepped out of his comfort zone to answer a call to serve in an unknown territory far away from his home, the United States. He went to Rwanda, in post-genocide era,  not knowing what to expect at all but he said yes to that great call to serve.

Brother Rene D. Roy arrived in Rwanda as a teacher, an educator and marist brother but soon turned out to be a paternal figure to many young rwandans in his care, he went on to inspire a whole generation of young people and  found full scholarships for dozens of young rwandans to go study in the United States.

As he turns 80 years old this year, his former students and friends have decided to honour him by continuing his legacy of care by starting a scholarship fund dedicated to help pay school fees for young people from underprivileged backgrounds in Rwanda. We are celebrating his 80th birthday by raising money to help the cause he dearly cares about.

***The full amount of money raised through this campaign will go to BROTHER RENE D. ROY SCHOLARSHIP FUND
