Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On August 25, 2014, The Imbuto Foundation received $32,400 USD (22 million RWF) from the Chinese Embassy as a commitment toward supporting disadvantaged secondary school going students. The partnership began last year when Imbuto and the Chinese Embassy signed a Memorandum of Understanding on December 18, 2013. "The money will provide scholarships to 108 disadvantaged students in 2015. The funds will be channeled through the China-Africa People-to-People Friendship Action launched by the People's Republic of China to promote cooperation between non-governmental organisations, women and youth from China and Africa," a statement from Imbuto Foundation reads in part. "The project selects disadvantaged students enrolled in public schools who obtain average grades of at least 70 per cent, with boys and girls having an equal chance of being selected."
