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.

More than 65 patients have visited our Health Center this week, amid a rise in respiratory infections.

While parents waited, Thérèse Mukandayisenga gathered them to talk about how to protect their children. She reminded them to keep children warm, watch for signs of illness, and seek medical attention if a child has difficulty breathing.

The day was busy at the Health Center, with time set aside for questions and helpful information parents could take home.

Rosarie has worked part-time on our agricultural projects for three years. This week, she was in the rice marshland with the rest of the crew, pulling weeds ahead of the January harvest.

Her earnings have helped her build her own livelihood. She now raises three pigs, 20 chickens, and a goat. She also pays health insurance for all eight of her family members.

A year’s health insurance for one child costs $15. You can help cover that cost for a child: rwandachildren.org/shop

At the start of the term, 13-year-old Jean De Dieu scored 4 out of 20 on a test about adding integers. He’s in RCCS Primary 5, and he thought mathematics was too hard.

His teacher found another way to approach it, using bottle tops and soccer—Jean De Dieu’s favorite game—to help him work through the problems.

On his latest test, Jean De Dieu scored 18 out of 20.

“I used to think mathematics was too hard for me,” he said. “But now I can solve problems and help my classmates.”

Serge's story is not his alone.

“I remember Serge and me sitting around the table when Rwanda Children was just an idea. Our hope was for Rwanda Children to be a place for anyone to belong, a place for people, a place that will bring hope, peace, and healing to our community.” — Esperance Gasore

Esperance’s story is part of “The Greater Miracle,” available now.
