In 2002, 30 young, poor children circled around a plot of dirt. Closing their eyes, they prayed sincerely that God would help this land to become a school for them.

In 2003, New Life Christian Academy opened its doors.

New Life Christian Academy isn’t an ordinary school. It is a school based on the idea that poor children can perform just as well as those from wealthy families if given the opportunity. More than 600 children from impoverished families attend the school.

Today, New Life Christian Academy is the top performing school in its province and 5th best in all of Rwanda. Here students learn about Jesus and the hope found in Him while receiving a quality education!

Because of the school’s success, Headmaster John Africa and two of his faculty members were asked to manage the development of national curriculum in Social Studies and English.
