BIO
Delphine is from the Ruhango district in the Southern Provence. Delphine is the oldest in a family of nine, including her mother and father. Delphine lived with her grandmother for a period of time and, with her grandmother’s support, was able to afford school fees. Her grandmother sought financial assistance from a priest, who paid for Delphine’s school fees. After he left the country, she was no longer able to attend boarding school. Delphine then started her studies at a day school. Delphine’s grandmother sold a cow to pay for her new school fees. After Delphine ended her senior six (last year), her grandmother passed away. Now, Delphine is studying Veterinary Medicine at the University of Rwanda. Delphine, because of the challenges she faced growing up, wants to pursue her degree in order to make her future better. Outside of classes, Delphine likes to play games like football and handball. She also enjoys short films, as well as being a good listener to those who need to talk about their problems.
