Education Program

Education Support Program

Empowering vulnerable children through comprehensive educational support, scholarships, and learning resources to build a brighter future for Rwanda.

Program Overview

Our Education Support Program is a comprehensive initiative designed to break the cycle of poverty through education. We believe that every child, regardless of their background, deserves access to quality education and the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Since its inception in 2010, this program has supported over 5,000 children across 15 districts in Rwanda. We work closely with local schools, communities, and government institutions to ensure sustainable educational development.

The program addresses multiple barriers to education including financial constraints, lack of school supplies, transportation challenges, and social stigma. Through our holistic approach, we provide not just financial support, but also mentorship, career guidance, and life skills training.
