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.

Every cabbage in this field has a child waiting for it.

Daphrose Nyirabagenzi spends her days tending the crop—checking the plants, pulling weeds, and making sure each one has what it needs.

“When I take care of these cabbages, I know that my work will provide food for the children and help them have a better life when they return from the holidays,” she said.

For now, Daphrose keeps tending the rows. When the children return, they'll be eating the harvest she helped grow.

The classrooms may be quiet for the summer, but there's still plenty happening at RCCS.

While our students are away, our maintenance team is working across campus: checking windows and doors, making repairs, and giving walls and doors fresh coats of paint.

It's preventive maintenance, but it's also an investment in the place where our children learn every day.

When they come back, we want them to see a school that has been cared for and to feel proud to walk through its doors.

For one week this summer, 300 children came together for something bigger than sports.

They ran. Played volleyball, soccer, basketball, and football. Competed, laughed, and learned new skills.

But every day of Rwanda Children’s Summer Sports Camp had another focus, too: a value.
Teamwork. Creativity. Gratefulness. Lessons designed to help children think about who they are becoming—not just how well they can play.

Those values carried beyond the playing field. Children worked together on activities like the human knot and gratitude maps. They learned about handwashing and dental hygiene, heard from guest speakers about the importance of sports, and shared their talents in a talent show.

Then came the final day: a community race, with different age and gender divisions, and plenty of cheering.

Sometimes the best lessons happen when children are given a place to run, play, try something new, and discover what they can do.

We’re grateful to our wonderful partner, Run Your City, whose funding helped make this year’s Summer Sports Camp possible.

And there was another part of the week that took them beyond the playing field. We’ll share that part on Friday.

Hooray! It's Friday!

This mama pig recently welcomed seven piglets.

Can you count all seven in this little huddle around Momma?

We think there's something wonderfully peaceful about a scene like this.

And these little ones are already part of something bigger, too. Their mother and the rest of our pigs help support Rwanda Children's agricultural initiatives by providing manure we use as valuable fertilizer.

From all of us at Rwanda Children, have a wonderful and restful weekend!

The workday was over.

But before they went home, Anoirite, Betty, and Anne stopped to give thanks.

“We are grateful for everybody we were able to serve today,” Betty said.

Three people. A few quiet moments. One shared reminder: Serving others is a privilege.

And at Rwanda Children, we're grateful for the opportunity to do it

The school year may be on break, but learning doesn't have to be.

During the summer, children from our surrounding community are welcome to spend time on the Rwanda Children campus: reading in the library, creating art, playing basketball, and enjoying our athletic field.

On this day, a group of neighborhood children gathered around a library table and began drawing characters from a book they were reading.

It's a simple afternoon. But it's also exactly the kind of opportunity we want our campus to provide: a safe place to learn, explore, create, and have fun.

We believe the resources God has entrusted to Rwanda Children are meant to be shared generously—not only with the children in our programs, but with our neighbors, too.

“This loan will help me move forward through vegetable farming and pay my children's school fees when schools reopen in September.”

Jean Claude Havugimana received this small microfinance loan through Rwanda Children’s Family Transformation Program.

For Jean Claude, it means an opportunity to expand his vegetable farming today, and a better chance of having his children's school fees ready when September arrives.

One small loan can create an opportunity to work, provide, and move a family forward.

This is what family transformation can look like: equipping parents with an opportunity to build on their own hard work and create a more secure future for their children.

Meet Natasha. She brought a little piece of beauty with her today.

She's growing, learning, and discovering more of what the future might hold. And like every child at Rwanda Children, Natasha deserves the opportunity to grow into all that God has created her to be.

A faithful sponsor is helping make that possible.

Through sponsorship, children like Natasha receive the daily care they need to thrive: including nutritious food, healthcare, education, and the encouragement that comes from knowing someone believes in their future.

We don't know yet what Natasha will become. Maybe someday she'll be a teacher, a doctor, an entrepreneur, a leader, or something none of us can imagine today.

But we do know this: her future is worth investing in.

Could you be that person for a child like Natasha?

For $50 a month, you can become a Rwanda Children sponsor and help give a child the opportunity to grow, learn, and dream about what's possible.

Four months ago: 13 pounds.

Today: 17 pounds.

That's the kind of progress every mother wants to hear about.

Giani has been coming to Rwanda Children's Health Center for regular check-ups, with his mother, Beatrice, faithfully bringing him back each time.

When Sabine Mbabazi, Director of Health Center Operations, shared the news about his progress, Beatrice said: "I feel at peace. Every visit gives me confidence that my child is healthy."

Behind those four pounds are months of care, monitoring, encouragement, and a mother who kept showing up.

Steady care. Steady growth. One child at a time.

Imagine wanting to help your child with homework, but not being able to read the assignment.

That was the reality for some of the parents of children at Rwanda Children.

Our team recognized an opportunity: by helping parents develop basic literacy skills, we could strengthen not only the parents themselves but also the families they work so hard to support.

Today, parents in our Adult Literacy Program are gaining greater confidence in their ability to read, write, and express themselves. And they aren't shy about why they are excited to learn.

They can't wait to help their children with homework.

Literacy opens doors that are easy to overlook when you've always had them. It makes it easier to communicate, access services and community resources, and participate more fully in a child's education.

Thanks to the generosity of our partners, Rwanda Children can offer this program to members of our community free of charge.

We praise God for another opportunity to serve our neighbors in ways that strengthen parents, encourage children, and benefit the whole community.
