Rwanda Aid works in the remote south west region of Rwanda, in the districts of Rusizi and Nyamasheke, situated between the Nyungwe Forest and Lake Kivu. Here the people are not only struggling from the aftermath of the genocide in 1994, but they also face desperate poverty.

Rwanda Aid has two main aims:

• To bring hope and relief to the most needy and vulnerable, especially the very poor, the sick and disabled, widows, orphans and the elderly.
• By supporting education and training, to help people to build a more secure and prosperous future for themselves and their country.

Rwanda Aid is a small charity that creates innovative, pilot projects that act as models and catalysts for further development. It offers well directed and effective help through a team of Rwandan Managers with volunteer UK Managers in support throughout the year.

Rwanda Aid has minimal administrative costs and provides direct feedback to its donors. It is keen to promote initiative, hard work, and a sense of community. The Charity works closely with the Rwandan Government, both at local and national levels.

Rwanda Aid aims to enable and empower so that eventually it will be no longer needed.

The Charity is run by a Board of Trustees chosen for their different areas of expertise and for their commitment to Rwanda.
