Rwanda Children

Rwanda Children We provide shelter, food, medical care, education, and hope to at-risk children in the name of Jesus.

We trust in the power of our God who made all people and we believe that Jesus, God in the flesh, set us an example of hope, mercy, and love for our neighbor. As a result, Rwanda Children seeks to embody and live out the example of love through our presence and through the sharing of our resources with vulnerable and at-risk children in the country of Rwanda. Beginning in 2013, we built our first

children's home in the village of Ntarama, Rwanda - home to our founder, Serge Gasore. This home currently provides for seven children from Ntarama and surrounding communities who have been identified as at-risk or vulnerable by their families or other community members. We are also caring for 14 additional children who became the first residents in two of the 5 new children's homes comprising our Hunter Hanner Community of Hope. Our goal is to ensure all of these children can grow, learn and live free from abuse, extreme poverty or neglect. Rwanda Children is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Valentine's Day is a time to spread love and joy to those around us. What better way to do that than by donating a goat to someone in need? By making a $45 donation, you provide a family or widow in our community with a goat. And goats are a gift that keeps on giving, as mama goats produce baby goats. A donation of $65 will provide a goat and get you one of our "Donate A Goat" t-shirts that you can proudly wear. Visit our website's Shop to donate goats. rwandachildren.org/shop

Our Health Center’s optometry clinic provides much-needed vision care to our children and community. It has been equipped with advanced diagnostic and treatment tools to optimize patient experience and clinical outcomes.

In these pictures, our ophthalmic technician, Marie Therese Mukandayisenga, is fitting a patient with glasses. The patient immediately tested his new glasses by picking up a Bible and reading clearly– something he’s been unable to do for years. We thank God for the opportunity to make a difference in our community by promoting eye and vision health and treatment.

This group of RCCS Primary students is playing a game to see how quickly they can pass a "pulse" around a circle. In this game, the "pulse" is created when one student squeezes the hand of the person next to them. The challenge is to see how fast they can complete this fun task and whether they can beat their best time.

Brian, Gloria, and Hornella remind us with their smiles that life is better with good friends. Friends can make everything in life seem better. They make you “laugh a little louder, smile a little brighter, and live a little better.”

If you want to improve your friendships, strive to be a better friend to others. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “The only way to have a friend is to be a friend.”

This class of Early Childhood Development students is practicing their ABCs. Their teacher is helping them practice letter recognition and sounds by drawing objects that start with each letter on the board. Children typically learn the alphabet by repetition, and their teacher is making that repetition fun.

Dative Mukagasana, one of our maintenance team members, stops what she’s doing to help Nicole tuck in her shirt. Nicole has a developmental disability, and Dative realizes that at this moment, helping Nicole is more important than any of her other tasks. Like all our team members, Dative understands our guiding principle, “Kids First” is more than just words–it’s at the heart of our mission and ministry.

Hooray! It's Friday! We hope all of you had a fantastic week—we sure did.

This momma pig recently gave birth to eleven piglets. (Can you count all eleven in this mashup the piglets are enjoying with momma?) Our pigs' manure is an invaluable fertilizer for our agricultural initiatives. We pray your weekend will be as relaxing as the one these piglets and their momma will have!

Three RCCS Primary students are intently focused on a computer they built using an educational kit. Once they had assembled the computer, a built-in learning system began teaching them fundamental electronics, coding, engineering, and basic programming skills. This project provides the students with computer skills, instills confidence, and fosters creativity. Thanks to the generous support of our incredible partners, our children have access to fantastic resources like this build-a-computer kit!

Our younger children love to go to one of our playgrounds during recess. After concentrating for hours in the classroom, they can rest their brains before returning to their lessons. As you can tell from this picture, the merry-go-rounds are one of the most popular destinations on our playgrounds!

Physical activity helps our children build healthy bodies. Our playgrounds are excellent places for kids to burn calories, practice physical skills, and experience the pure joy of movement. Active play is an opportunity to expend energy healthily. Children can be loud and boisterous outside on the playground (which is understandably discouraged in the classroom).

Our Joy Maternal Care Center recently achieved a remarkable first. On the same day and at almost the same time, three mothers gave birth safely to healthy babies. Our Health Center team was amazed at this extraordinary occurrence, which was a first for our maternity center. We thank God for the safe delivery of these babies and the good health of the mothers and their newborns.

One of the mothers, Tuyishimire Florentine, shared, "The care I received during my pregnancy and delivery was exceptional. The Health Center team was attentive and supportive, ensuring my baby and I were safe and healthy. I'm so thankful for the miracle of my child's birth!"

Almost 300 babies were safely delivered at our Joy Maternal Care Center in 2024. The new year has begun with a flurry of healthy newborns!

We are thankful for the new playground located near the classrooms used by our Early Childhood Development (ECD) program. Since we have consolidated all of our children’s classes on our main campus, the smaller playgrounds at our Mama Karen House and near our Health Center were inconveniently located for our ECD children to easily access. With the spacious new playground just a few steps from the ECD classrooms, it is just a hop-and-a-skip walk for these little ones to reach a space where they can hop and skip!
