When Jean D’amour reflects on his journey, his heart swells with gratitude. His story is one of resilience, compassion, and hope—a story that inspired the founding of Heal the World Community Development (HWCD).
Jean was born into adversity. His mother, a high school student at the time, faced societal rejection and abandonment after becoming pregnant. The father denied paternity, and Jean’s mother was left to navigate a world that seemed unforgiving. Struggling with mental health and financial instability, she chose to fight—not just for her survival but for Jean’s future.
Life was a series of uphill battles, but thanks to the kindness of strangers and the resilience of his mother, Jean was able to access education and basic necessities. Today, he stands as a testament to the power of compassion and community.
It was his experiences that inspired the creation of HWCD. Jean envisioned an organization where children like him—those born into poverty, neglect, or societal stigma—could find the support they need to thrive. Through HWCD, he is now giving back to the community that once lifted him up.
“I know what it’s like to feel forgotten,” Jean shares. “But I also know the power of a helping hand. That’s what HWCD is all about—giving others the chance to rise above their circumstances.”
Jean’s story is not unique. It is shared by many children in Rwanda. And yet, every story has the potential for transformation. With your support, HWCD can ensure that these stories have happy endings.
