Construction begins in Gihara, Rwanda

Press Release

September 28, 2009 - The How Far Foundation, Inc. and howFar Ministries, Inc. have authorized construction to begin on our second school, Crimson Academy, located at Gihara, Rwanda. Crimson Academy follows our initial school project, founded in 2006, for Maasai children at Orkung'u, Kenya.

Crimson Academy, to begin with four classrooms, is scheduled to open in January 2010. The private Christian School will educate 100 marginalized Batwa Pygmy children. The vast majority of the underprivileged Twa children have never had access to an education. Each child will receive basic English, mathematics, health, science and Bible free of charge.

The goal of howFar is to raise up a generation of Christian Batwa leaders who will be trained and enabled to evangelize their indigenous "least-reached" people group. The Batwa inhabit portions of Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda and The Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The How Far Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Humanitarian Aid Agency and is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a Public Charity. All donations to The How Far Foundation, Inc are tax deductible.
