The Founder
Ndahiro John is a theologian and pastor by calling, with over a decade of experience in ministry and a heart deeply burdened for the broken and forgotten. His journey began at New Life Ministries, where he served as a youth pastor and also worked in the sponsorship program, walking alongside vulnerable children and their families. As he listened, loved, and served, he saw a deeper need — one that required going beyond church walls and program checklists. In 2017, fueled by compassion and a vision to restore dignity to the hurting, he founded Alive Passion. Through Alive Passion, Pastor John has devoted himself to empowering teen mothers, equipping youth, and supporting children in poor and rural communities. His leadership is marked by humility, consistency, and deep spiritual conviction. To this day, he continues to lead Alive Passion with a clear mission: “To raise lives and restore hope through love, discipleship, and opportunity.”
Alive Passion Background
Alive Passion is a Christ-centered initiative based in Bugesera District, Rwanda, dedicated to restoring dignity, purpose, and hope among vulnerable women, youth, and children. Our mission is simple but deep: to walk alongside the broken and equip them to rise. We serve teen mothers, struggling youth, and underprivileged children by providing practical skills training, discipleship, emotional support, and community care. Through programs like tailoring, catering, Bible studies, creative arts, and holistic mentorship, we help people not only survive hardship — but rebuild their lives with confidence and joy. Whether it’s training a teen mom to start a small business or walking with a child through school, every step is taken with love, faith, and long-term vision. At Alive Passion, we believe no life is too lost to be redeemed, no skill too small to change a future, and no gift too little to make an impact.
Our Mission

Our Vision
To see communities in Bugesera and beyond transformed through love in action where every person, regardless of age or background, is empowered to live a life of purpose, faith, and dignity.
