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.

Nobody asked them to pose for this photo.

They were simply on their way to sports.

Three friends laughing together. Three Bibles tucked under their arms.

Bonheur saw the moment and pressed the shutter.

Sometimes a photograph tells you something important about a place.

At Rwanda Children Christian School, faith is not confined to a chapel service or a Bible lesson.
It walks across campus with students. It shows up in friendships. It becomes part of daily life.

The girls in this photo are Christella, Nita, and Anaelle.

Friends.

Growing up together.

More than 900 students learn, grow, worship, and belong here together.

Every one of them has a story. Every one of them needs people who believe in their future.

Ten years ago, Rwanda Children was a vision.

On Sunday, that vision could be seen everywhere you looked.

More than 1,600 students, community members, government leaders, special guests, and international visitors gathered on Rwanda Children's campus to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Yet throughout the day, the focus continually returned to the children, young people, and families whose lives have been shaped through this ministry.

Under a brilliant blue Rwandan sky, guests were welcomed by the RCCS marching band before being treated to a series of performances by students from across the school. Traditional dancers, singers, drummers, and performers took to the field, showcasing their talents and filling the celebration with energy and joy.

Students also served as emcees, greeters, guides, and event assistants throughout the day. With confidence and poise, they helped lead a program that reflected the remarkable growth of Rwanda Children over the past decade.

Special videos and presentations shared the story of God's faithfulness through the years. Speakers reflected on the journey from a simple vision to a thriving ministry that today serves hundreds of children and families through education, healthcare, nutrition, spiritual development, and community outreach. They also looked ahead with anticipation, trusting God to continue his work in the years to come.

Awards and special recognition were presented to individuals and partners whose faithful support has helped make this journey possible. Their investment has played an important role in building the foundation upon which Rwanda Children stands today.

As the celebration came to an end, one truth stood above every speech, performance, and presentation: the greatest testimony to the past ten years of Rwanda Children is found in the lives of the children themselves.

What began as a vision has become a community of young people being equipped to learn, lead, serve, and follow Christ.

And by God's grace, the story is still being written.

A bicycle.

Not a real one. A clay one.

Today, nine-year-old Merveille sat down with a handful of clay and decided to build what she saw in her imagination.

No assignment. No instructions.

Just an idea and the freedom to explore it.

Merveille is in Primary 4 at Rwanda Children Christian School. She dreams of becoming a doctor someday. But long before children become doctors, teachers, engineers, or entrepreneurs, they learn something just as important:

How to imagine.

How to create.

How to look at the world and think, "I can make something, too."

That is what childhood looks like when a child has room to create.

One by one, they stepped into the water.

On Saturday, 59 children in Rwanda Children's care were baptized into Christ.

Surrounded by family members, teachers, sponsors, and fellow students, they publicly declared their faith and celebrated the new life they have found in Him.

One by one, they emerged from the water to hugs, smiles, prayers, and the joyful encouragement of the community around them.

Moments like these remind us why Rwanda Children exists.

We are committed to providing children with food, education, medical care, daily shelter, and hope. But at the center of everything we do is a desire to help young people know Jesus and follow him.

As Rwanda Children celebrates ten years of ministry, we can think of no greater reason to give thanks than watching young people publicly declare their faith in Christ.

Saturday was a day our community will not soon forget.

Leslie had a question for Charles Buliyama, the music instructor for the RCCS band.

She wanted to know if he would teach her music.

He said yes.

A young student who asked. A teacher who said yes.

A conversation on the grass. A smile. A door that opened.

She is 5 years old. Her name is Agabe.

She made a paper airplane.

And she told her teacher she wants to be a pilot.

A little girl, a folded piece of paper, and a dream as big as the sky.

Happy Friday from Rwanda Children.

Meet the bakers.

These students are part of Rwanda Children's Food & Beverage Management program, where young people gain professional culinary skills through hands-on training.

This week, they completed an advanced bakery session.

And yes, they baked those cakes themselves.

Behind every finished cake is a lesson in patience, precision, teamwork, and pride in a job well done.

Londyn's summer series continues. Glimpse two takes us into the visitors' kitchen — and the people who keep everyone fed and cared for:

Hungry, anyone?

Back home, people often ask me, "What's the food like in Rwanda?" In one word — delicious. (My favorites: curry, chips, and pumpkin.)

The visitors' kitchen is run by these talented chefs, hardworking cleaners, and great friends. John, in green, makes a chicken curry I could eat every day. I am grateful to be in their care!

Laura is 12. She hopes to become a physiotherapist.

Belle Fille is 15. She dreams of becoming a surgeon.

Bernice wants to work in cybersecurity, helping identify and fix vulnerabilities in computer systems.

This week, they sat outside a traditional Rwandan royal house on our campus, holding an inkongoro and an agaseke — vessels that have carried Rwandan culture for generations.

Later, they practiced kugosora, winnowing maize, sorghum, and soya in handwoven intara trays, just as their grandmothers did.

These girls are not choosing between tradition and ambition.

They are carrying both.

“As for these four youths, God gave them learning and skill in all literature and wisdom.” — Daniel 1:17

Last week, Andy, Remezo Daniel, and Barutwaninshuti Daniel walked together to Friday chapel — Bibles in hand, side by side.

All three said they admire Daniel in the Bible for his wisdom, courage, and faithfulness to God.

Future astronaut. Future lawyer. Future singer. Walking to worship together.

This is the kind of community Rwanda Children is building.
