In remote Rwandan villages, kids are dropping out of school at rapid rates due to a lack of finances and resources.

When a child can no longer attend school, they are placed in an extremely vulnerable and challenging situation. 

What happens when a child can no longer go to school?

Teenage marriage 

Teenage pregnancy 

Parents abandon their children due to a lack of finances 

No options for income and livelihood strategies 

Husbands abandon their young wives due to a lack of finances 

Cannot afford food to eat 

Starvation, malnutrition, and disease

Outcast from society 

Kids run away from home and live in the streets

Girls sell themselves to prostitution 

And the cycle of poverty continues. 

Hope is gone. Kids see this cycle happen over and over in their villages. For them, this is not a rare possibility that may happen to them, but a very real and very probable reality that is waiting for them. 

We are determined to fix this. We have seen that if a child can stay in school in Rwanda, this is the greatest way that they can break the cycle of poverty. 

By working alongside local church and community leaders in Rwanda who live and serve in these remote villages, they are able to identify the children who are not able to attend school and who are at the greatest amount of risk and vulnerability. Not only are we working to provide them a way to attend to school, but to also alleviate the additional challenges that cause them to not be able to attend school in the first place. This provides a sustainable future for the children, their families, and for their generations to come.

Will you help change the life of a child with us?
