About Rwanda

Muraho! That is how you say “hello” in Kinyarwanda, the official language of Rwanda. Known as the “land of a thousand hills,” this East African country is full of natural beauty. Yet many communities still struggle with access to clean water, reliable food, and educational opportunities.

Safe and Clean Toilets for Children and Youth

We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude for your generous support in solving the problem of toilets. We already had a toilet but it was old and the government was repeatedly asking us to replace it or else they would close down our fellowship gathering because of this problem. But now the problem will be solved completely, our children will be able to use a good toilet, which is something to be thankful. After receiving the support, we hired a qualified person to design a good plan. After approval from the project committee and the church, we announced the construction works and they started work on October 6, 2025. They are working at a high speed, the building is now ready to be roofed. The building will consist of 10 rooms including rooms for the disabled, 4 bathrooms, 4 urinals, and a water tank We have not encountered any obstacles in these works so far, all works are going well. It is a joy for Christians, they were very happy. Some parents said as a joke that they would come from their homes to use the toilets here, because the toilets are so nice. Everyone blesses those who supported us. May God bless all supporters who sent support to our church.
