Irasubiza Irene Pacifique is a sharp and playful boy. His favorite learning areas in class are art and math. During his free time, Irene can be seen playing on the swings with his friends. His dream is to be a doctor. Pacifique comes from a family of both parents and two older sisters, who both go to a nearby public school. Pacifique’s father got in a car accident in 2013 that affected his spinal cord, and he was advised not to do any kind of work that requires much energy. This accident left him vulnerable to work because he used to ride a bicycle taxi to earn a living for his family. Pacifique’s mother is a strong woman that works hard for her entire family, she occasionally works at the construction sites as a porter. She also comes to hope haven to serve in the field as a way of clearing school fees for Irene Pacifique. The family used to stay in a dilapidated house until Hope Haven helped them rebuild the home and made it better.
