Gustave Ndayishimiye
Lead Residential Counselor
Gustave has a great passion for working with vulnerable children. This passion grew and developed from the difficulties he survived as a child living through the Rwandan genocide in 1994. Because he endured extensive difficulties as a child, it is his ambition to do everything he can to help children who are facing difficult circumstances. Gustave is a fulltime employee at HFLM, and he spends his days supervising, mentoring, and loving on the boys at HFLM.

Jacky Mukangendo
Residential Counselor
Jacky is a hardworking and dedicated woman who resides at HFLM full-time. She has schooling in cooking and previously worked for Christian Action for
Reconciliation and Social Action (CARSA) as an assistant and cook. She has a natural ability with working with children, and she directly mentors and oversees
the 12 youngest boys at HFLM. In the future, Jacky hopes to study language (including English) and she also wishes to become proficient at operating computers.
Jacky is very disciplined and persistent in her work, caring for the children at the home, helping the boys with their studies, mentoring them in their spiritual
lives, and assisting the children in their daily life. Her favorite activity to do with the boys, though, is praying with them and teaching them songs.

Yankurije Beatrice
Residential Caretaker
Yankurije began as a farmer at Hope For Life producing fruit and
vegetables for the ministry. When the need arose for a cook and
caretaker, it was an easy transition to that position for Yankurije
since she was familiar with the organization, knew the children and
understood the food needs. The children love her cooking and she's
able to supervise the self sustaining development of the farm.
