Rwanda is a country rich in beauty and diversity. It has had a very troubled and ravaged past. Through direct, sensitive and carefully targeted support, Rwanda Aid aims to help the people rebuild for themselves a more secure and prosperous future.
Rwanda Aid is a fundraising name used by the Lawrence Barham Memorial Trust (LBMT). The Trust was named after Bishop Lawrence Barham, who worked for 40 years in Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. LBMT is a UK Registered Charity (No.291459) and has been operating in East Africa since 1985. LBMT supports the work of the Anglican Church in parts of Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi. The Trust aims to assist the Church in promoting the Christian faith and to do this by helping to meet spiritual, physical and intellectual needs of people in East Africa, in the context of their own culture and ways. Rwanda Aid focuses primarily on the isolated and impoverished province of Cyangugu, in the south west of the country. Funds are raised to help develop, extend and maintain practical, self-help and sustainable projects to benefit poor communities. The projects are established and run by the Anglican Church with its network of parishes, which effectively reach out to many of the poorest villages. Projects in Cyangugu have included the following: nursery, primary and secondary schools, a best practice demonstration farm, a veterinary dispensary, a medical centre, a carpentry workshop, a guest house, a conference centre, a cathedral, rural churches, houses for Diocesan staff and pastors, care for orphan families and houses for widows.
