Welcome to Rwanda Restored

"Restoring the Hopeless - Equipping the Helpless"

Rwanda Restored seeks the advancement of education of young people in Rwanda by building or improving schools, relieving financial hardship by providing money for food, housing, education, clothes and social support for widows and orphans across Rwanda.

The main focus of the charity is on children, to ensure they are given decent accommodation either with their family or within any boarding schools operating throughout the country.

Rwandan gorilla We also aim to support the parents of these children, many of whom are widows because of HIV, AIDS and the genocide of 1994. Many of the mothers cannot support their families financially without working as prostitutes. Our aim is to steer them into a safer and productive life by encouraging and supporting local trade in gift items such as cards, embroidery and other handicrafts.

" Rwanda Restored believes that every child has the right to attend school"

"As of March 2013 we have 180 girl boarders. Dormitories are temporarily very overcrowded until such time as we can complete the new dormitory - see photos alongside. This must be finished as soon as possible as it is urgently needed! The roof metal structure is now all in place & the next phase will be to fix the blue roofing sheets to make this building weather proof"

"We would like to partner with as many secondary schools as possible to continue building this urgently needed dormitory " Please contact us if you can help.

Boys toilet block

The boys toilet block is now in use although it isn't completely finished but it does mean that the boys do not need to use the nearby church toilets.
