Nisima Cyabitama is four years old.* The child was born in exile – in Tanzania in 1995. She now lives with her family in a re-settlement camp in Rwanda called Kageyo. Both parents are alive, but the family is very poor. Neither of her parentts have a job and neither completed primary schooling. They now struggle to provide for their large family: five girls and three boys ranging in age from 2 1/2 to 15 years old. Because of the extreme poverty in Kageyo, Nisima and her siblings are hungry most of the time, often going to bed on an empty stomach.
Nisima dreams of becoming a doctor and helping children who are in pain. She wants to be able to provide for her entire family. Nisima currently attends preschool in a neighboring school.
