Thank You for Helping Expand Our Ministry in Rwanda

January 9, 2023

Enabling Holistic Child Development Through the Local Church

Your gift helps children grow to fulfill their potential and opens up a world of hope for children in desperate circumstances. By removing obstacles that hinder their future, you are helping release children poverty in Jesus’ name.

At the new child development center being launched in northern Rwanda, children will benefit from opportunities that would otherwise be out of their reach. Program activities encourage healthy growth — spiritually, physically, socially, emotionally and economically — and children are invited to participate early in their lives when the program can benefit them most. Tailored according to age, gender, health, culture and family situations, the program changes as children’s needs change. Against the harsh context of poverty, the nurturing environment at the church-driven center fosters well-being, youth agency, self-confidence and a spirit of service. Children are equipped to become disciples of Christ and achieve a fulfilling life.  

Your gift will equip the church with the resources to:

  • Hire and train center staff. 

  • Make necessary building modifications.

  • Purchase necessary supplies, such as learning materials, office equipment and classroom furnishings.

  • Provide immediate sponsorship program support to newly registered children until they can be matched with a sponsor. 

  • Conduct initial health assessments and provide important medical interventions for registered children. 

Thank you for partnering with us in this work! Compassion is working to launch child development centers in approximately 500 new communities in the next year, empowering Frontline Church Partners to reach more than 100,000 children from regions of extreme poverty with hope. By investing in this new center, your gift will grow expontentially in the years to come. Once your donation makes it possible for the church to launch its child development program, sponsors are matched with each child and the financial impact of your gift will multiply tenfold in an average of just three years.

May God bless you for the great difference you are making in the lives of children in Rwanda.

The new church partner is located in northern Rwanda where there is no other church partner currently. The church expects to transform the living conditions and spirtual welfare of children and families in the area by addressing basic household needs and organizing training for caregivers. Children participating in the sponsorship program will have full access to education and health services. They will learn skills that will enable them to adapt themselves to life and bring change to their community.

The church is located in area about two hours from Kigali. Typical houses are constructed of dirt floors, mud walls and tin roofs. The regional diet consists of bananas, beans, cassava, potato, rice, sorghum and sweet potato. Common health problems in this area include malnutrition, malaria and respiratory infections. Most adults work as subsistence farmers and earn the equivalent of $27 per month.
