Ernest was born in 2001. Before Acts4Rwanda, Ernest spent his days picking up scrap metals and selling them for a few coins in order to buy food. He became an Acts4Achiever in 2014. Today, his life has changed completely. He has not only grown physically, he has grown spiritually and as a leader in his community. Ernest was chosen to be the class monitor in his class and also serves in the kids worship choir in his church. He enjoys playing soccer with his friends. Ernest's family lives in Kigali, Nyabisindu. His mother, Uzayisenga Trifina, is a tailor and was part of our inaugural class in the Acts4Women's training program. His father, Ntabana Basil, works on the farms when he finds work and also does construction work. He is the second born of 8 children and two of his sisters; Sandrine and Violet Sifa, are also Acts4Achievers. Ernest dreams of becoming the President of Rwanda.
