Our work in Rwanda 
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.

Progress update Houses Renovation Cause
We sincerely express our gratitude to our donors and supporters whose generous contributions have made it possible for families without adequate housing to have safe and dignified homes. Because of this support, beneficiary families are now experiencing improved living conditions and renewed hope for a better future. The announcement of this assistance was received with deep appreciation and joy. Following the receipt of the donation, church leaders convened meetings with the beneficiary families to formally communicate the good news. The families responded with great excitement and gratitude upon learning of the support. In light of the overwhelming need within the community and the high number of families living in poor housing conditions, it was collectively agreed—during these consultations—to extend the support beyond the originally planned ten beneficiaries. As a result, seven additional families were included, bringing the total number of beneficiary households to seventeen. The families committed to supporting one another to ensure that the available resources are used efficiently and equitably for the benefit of all. The project is currently serving 17 families, and housing renovation activities are underway and progressing well. Early observations indicate positive momentum, with visible improvements already taking shape. The church is profoundly grateful for the opportunity and resources to address the housing needs of its members. This Cause has strengthened its ability to serve holistically, meeting both physical and spiritual needs, and has further enabled effective outreach and ministry among the most vulnerable. One of the beneficiaries, Joselyne, is a homeless orphan and a single mother of four children. Prior to this Cause, she and her children depended entirely on the goodwill of neighbors for shelter. Upon receiving the news, she shared her heartfelt gratitude, stating: “I can hardly find the words to express my joy. It feels like a dream. I am so happy to finally have a home. I am no longer homeless.” More detailed progress updates, including additional testimonies and impact stories, will be shared in the next report.
