Valence Rutaisire shares how a sponsored education transformed his life after losing both parents in Uganda, and inspired his promise to return home and build a school. Today, he leads the Youth Focus Africa Foundation, running four schools for 1,500 children and a Women’s Empowerment Program that teaches beadwork, sewing, birth-control practices, and village savings to break generational poverty. He explains how child sponsorship ($450/year), women’s economic opportunities, and volunteer medical and construction teams create sustainable impact, why financial donations go further than material ones, and how the next big milestone, a $40,000 science lab, will elevate educational excellence.
