Luckyson Elijah Gasangwa, who recently prepared a concert for Israel Mbonyi in the City of Calgary in Canada in collaboration with his wife Gasangwa Esther, founded a family called “ Living Channel Services” to help the needy of different families.
The two are already counted in Calgary in the City of Alberta in Canada. The organization was set up to contribute to the transformation of the well-being of various Rwandan people, as their contribution to the country’s development.
‘Living Channel Services’ is built on the goal of caring for
children with physical and mental disabilities.
They are located in Kayonza District the Eastern Province in
three sectors Mukarange, Kabarondo and Gahini. They already have 30 members and
started in 2017.
Esther and Gasangwa told InyaRwanda that the idea of
establishing this organization was built on helping children with this
disability problem ‘so that their parents could get out of isolation to where
others were.
They said, “Their Children also get medical care, and have
the right to live like all other children.”
Among the activities of the organization are the payment of
medical insurance (Mituelle de Sante) these children and their families.
Buying epilepsy and everything else when they are sick. They
provide them with ticket money when they are taking children to the hospital, and
give them food, clothing, and hygiene supplies twice a year.
Parents are helped to start development projects, and they
are formed in three groups.
Those in the Mukarange group breed chickens, members of the
Gahini and Kabamondare group who go to pig breeding groups.
They are taught how to take care of these children how to
clean them properly, and to give them a balanced diet.
For children with malnutrition, the Living channel has provided
them with milk and bought them supplements.
Every six months there is a sharing event that brings
together children, parents and leaders in the public sector and Living Channel
Services.
It is in the context of Monday of this Week, the donors of
the organization living in Canada are Costaud and Cathy Rwamuningi who visited
