Mariya Nyirakandagaye, 60, of Gasabo, Rwanda had nine children and now has only one alive. Four of her children died of AIDS. She raises one little grandchild of two years left by her mother after she died in June 2007. His name is Shumbusho Ntirenganya. She says it’s hard to raise a small child at her age but she is happy to see him. “I called my lovely grandson ‘Israel’ just to remember all my children who perished,” she said.
