Muraho I'm Shimo

That's hello in Kinyarwanda

Waiting for 11 months

I'm a 2 year-old boy and I live with my mother and father in Rwanda.

My birthday is the 27th October.

I love dolls.

I' m too young to attend school, so I participate in Home Based Compassion programme activities.

£32 per month will empower him to overcome poverty
