Welcome! We are glad that you have arrived at our website to learn about the work of Aid to Vulnerable Schoolchildren (in French, Aide des enfants vulnérables scolarisés, or ADEVS).

ADEVS was founded in June 2021 in Bowling Green, Kentucky by Kapungu Ruhereshwa.

Many children are vulnerable because of their lack of access to health care and because their parents often do not have the means to pay for necessities or for school.
