What the charity does
We educate disadvantaged children in Rwanda with a bias towards girls. The children are orphans or from mother-led families. Our programmes enable under-resourced children to complete their secondary school education. We organise workshops covering conflict resolution, mental health awareness, and employability skills. Our mentorship programme empowers our students along their chosen path.
