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.

Second Progress update

We take this opportunity to thank those who helped us get funding to build the toilet and also to share to them the progress of the construction work. Last time, we shared the progress, although we had some difficulties in delaying the construction work due to the entrepreneur who are building, but now there is little time left for the work to be completed. We sincerely thank the donors for providing the fund, and we hope that it will be fruitful, although the work is not yet complete, but with the progress of the work, it is clear that the problem of poor hygiene will be completely resolved. We are working with the entrepreneur who have the contract of the work to further implement the requirements. This work will solve a big problem not only for the children in the project but also for the students who study at the school located in the church because they will use it, which is a school specifically set up for children from poor families living in the area where the church is located. Because of this commitment, the families pay a small amount of money, and the rest is the responsibility of the church so that the children can study well and reduce the problem of school dropout. This toilet is appreciated by the government administration and the parents we co-parent. The work is still ongoing and will be completed in just 2 months. We are currently finalizing, painting and fixing the unfinished parts.
