Thank you for your support of Village Time! Nearly 250 members of our Village family from the United States, Rwanda, and around the world joined us to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village (ASYV) and honor all 1,800 of our kids and alumni.

Thanks to our community's generosity, Village Time raised over $700,000 to support our kids! This total includes nearly $170,000 raised last night during a special appeal.

Fifteen of our alumni joined us in New York City to accept the Anne Heyman Spirit Award, and many more came together in Rwanda to create their own musical video tribute (below) to the celebration. “We treasure this legacy and vow to protect it for generations to come,” says Assimwe Hirwa Deborah Meillah, ASYV Class of 2022, in the video.

Thank you for being part of that legacy. We are grateful to each of you for your incredible support and to have shared the celebration with you.

We also want to thank our amazing Village Time Sponsors!
