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.

Happy Friday! Fred, Caleb, and Chretien worked through their math notes together today. Caleb took the lead, while his friends leaned in.

“Helping others makes me happy,” Caleb said. “Even a small act of kindness can make my friends’ day better.”

Afissa dreams of becoming a researcher. Gabriella dreams of becoming a doctor. Kessia dreams of becoming a doctor too.

Walking home together, the three friends talked about their futures the whole way.

Gabriella put it simply: “We support each other, dream together, and believe in a bright future.”

Your support helps make it possible for children like Afissa, Gabriella, and Kessia to receive the education they need to pursue those dreams. If you'd like to help another child have that same opportunity, please consider making a gift to Rwanda Children. www.rwandachildren.org/donate

Four months ago, Lorenzo and Joshua spent most of their days sleeping. Lorenzo has gone from 22 pounds to 26 pounds. Joshua has gone from 22 pounds to 29 pounds.

Now look at them.

Joshua’s mother, Veronique, said it best: “I am very happy to see my child active, smiling, playing, and enjoying his childhood.”

Jeanette Uwingabire spent much of this week tending the carrot fields, clearing weeds so the young crops have room to grow.

“Caring for these carrots today means a healthier harvest and fresh vegetables for the children this September,” she said.

At Rwanda Children, much of the food served to our children is grown right here on campus.

Sylvie has grown from 14 pounds to 16 pounds over four months of care. This week, nurse Celestin Dufatanye explained to her mother, Olive, exactly how to give her medicine at home.

“I am grateful that Nurse Celestin took time to explain how to give the medicine to my child, so I can follow the instructions correctly,” Olive said.

Olive left the Health Center knowing exactly what to do when she got home.

Does sponsoring an at-risk child make a difference in their future?

We think these numbers tell an important story.

These three smiling students are enrolled at Rwanda Children Christian School because they have sponsors. Research on sponsored children shows that they:

• Stay in school 1.5 to 2 years longer than their non-sponsored peers.
• Are up to 13.3% more likely to finish primary school.
• Are 27% to 40% more likely to finish secondary education.
• Are 50% to 80% more likely to complete a university education.

Sponsorship isn't simply about helping a child attend school today. It can change how far that child can go.

We're grateful for the sponsors who make that opportunity possible.

A shipment can look like boxes. But this shipment represents something much more.

Rwanda Children has received 459,000 packets of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF)—nutritional support that will be distributed to children and other vulnerable people who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition.

Our Director of Health Center Operations, Sabine Mbabazi, projects that this supply will support our efforts for at least nine months, helping vulnerable children improve their nutrition and growth while reducing the risks associated with malnutrition and stunting.

We are grateful to the Halbert-Harmon Foundation and Mana Nutrition for making this shipment possible. Their generosity has put something very practical into the hands of our health team: a way to help children get the nutrition they need to grow, develop, and learn.

Boxes arrived. Help is already on its way to children who need it.

Learning can be hands-on. Shami, one of our RCCS Primary students, is practicing his counting skills using small clay balls he has made. A simple classroom activity is giving him an opportunity to practice numbers, concentration, and early math skills.

Happy Monday!

Liano, Félicité, Honoline, Naome, Lena, and Kai are best friends and classmates at Rwanda Children Christian School. They love their teachers, their fellow students, and the opportunity to learn together each day.

Sometimes, a good day at school is simply a good day spent with friends.
