Civic & Social Organization - Los Angeles, California, United States
We Are Limitless, Inc. (WAL) is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating, protecting, and encouraging Rwandan and Congolese orphans and victims of sexual violence to become independent and self-reliant. Many of the orphans in Rwanda are either a byproduct of genocide, have lost their families to HIV, or have been found abandoned by families unable to support them. Often, infants are found left in jungles or ditches to survive the elements or hopefully be found by orphanages. "We Are Limitless" moves children out of orphanages and into boarding schools, providing them with a healthy environment, access to medical care and other needs.In The Democratic Republic of Congo, two decades of war have left as many as 7 million dead and approximately 800,000 orphans. The violence towards women has increased with over 1,000 women being raped every day. WAL is building a safe haven to that will offer medical services, education, housing, and life skills to help rehabilitate victims of these tragedies and create an ambitious population of critical thinkers.
