Lukas rides his bike – and takes something kenial with him. In Rwanda, 42.9% of the population is between 0 and 14 years old. In addition, children make up over 80% of Rwanda’s rural population and often have limited access to education. Kinder- und Jugendhilfe Ruanda Kinder- und Jugendhilfe Ruanda e.V. supports orphans and other needy children and young people. In the Rutunga area, the association is building a school that will provide free education for rural children.
25 lively children between the ages of 3 and 5 started in the first class of the Happy Kids School in 2020. The school is located northeast of Kigali. The kids get sandals, backpacks and shirts from us.
Lukas is racing in the Race Around Rwanda in February 2021. That’s 1000 km of race course and 15,000 metres of altitude. And because Lukas wants to move mountains, he is taking some time beforehand to bring the kids some cool stuff.
