Kwizera Ministries began with one trip to Rwanda and a simple desire to help. Today, that desire has grown into a global effort that supports genocide survivors, strengthens vulnerable communities, and rescues children who have been forgotten on the streets of India.In this episode of Milwaukee’s Philanthropic Community, host Jill Economou speaks with founders Carolyn and Ray Gumm about the moments that launched Kwizera’s mission and the people who shaped its direction. They reflect on the importance of listening before acting, the power of prayer, and the way compassion can open doors to healing. The conversation also explores Nani’s Kids, an initiative designed to bring safety, education, and stability to children living outside a train station in Varanasi.KWIZERA MINISTRIES Kwizera Ministries exists to bring the Word of God and the hope of Christ to underserved, persecuted, and vulnerable communities in Rwanda and South Asia, working through prayer, Scripture, and relationship to help people find healing, forgiveness, love, and peace.
