This message is one I never thought I would write nor did I want to write.
It is with a broken heart I share my grief.
On April 11, 2024, my Rwandan son Claude Habinishuti gave up the fight after a long illness and moved on to a better place. Claude was one of the first boys brought to Urukundo by the Umudugudu (village leader) when we opened the home for boys in 2007.
Claude was among the older street boys picked up by the police begging for money and food in the streets. He had no family that we were aware of. He was part of our Urukundo family. Claude was 29 years old at the time of his death. He is mourned by all his brothers and sisters in the Urukundo family.
