A word from the Founder

A mother of a child born with mental disability, I realized how important it is to take care of children with disabilities. I took good care of my son Louis Marie KUBWAYO until he died of Epilepsy in 2017. The struggles I went through caring for my son inspired me to create a not-for-profit organization that provides care for children with disabilities to have their needs met. WIKWIHEBA MWANA (Don’t Despair), was created in 2006 and is located in a remote area of Ngarama, in Gatsibo District of Eastern Province of Rwanda. I thank God that the situation of my son did not make me to lose heart. It heartened instead- the empathy to strive for welfare of other children with disabilities, especially those born from vulnerable rural families.
