OUR HISTORY

Our story

Built on faith, for every child.

Stella School International grew out of years of reaching young people with the Gospel, and a desire to give children who lack access to quality education because of poverty hope, opportunity and a brighter future.

The beginning

Reaching teenagers with the Gospel

Our story begins with years of experience reaching teenagers in different schools with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Helping young people grow in the Lord

Teens For Christ Rwanda was dedicated to reaching teens with the Gospel, helping them grow in the Lord, and guiding them into becoming fully committed disciples of Jesus Christ. It is led by Mbanzabugabo Aminadab, a dedicated Rwandan missionary and Country Director, who went on to found Stella School International.

Seeing a need

Children without access to quality education

A need became clear: many children lack access to quality education because of poverty. The school was established to address that challenge and to give them hope, opportunity and a brighter future through quality Christian education.
