Help us Create Effective Learning Environments for Children

Rwanda

Rwanda is one of the smallest countries on the African continent, and the most densely populated one. There are around 463 inhabitants per 1km2 here! Due to its natural landscape, Rwanda is sometimes referred to as a land of a thousand hills, and due to its history, also a land of a thousand problems.

Overview:
  • around 12 million inhabitants
  • in 1994, it was a place of genocide – in 100 days, about 1 million people of the Tutsi tribe were murdered, 2 million escaped from the country
  • agricultural country – farming generates about 63% of income from export (including coffee, tea, bananas)

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to school closures around the world, depriving 463 million students of access to education. Due to social inequality and lack of internet access, many students have not been able to participate in any form of remote learning.

Good Factory is focused on creating equal opportunities for all and we’ve been working hard to make sure our children can continue their education. A few years ago, we promised Specioza and Claire, patients of our hospice in Rwanda, that we would take care of their children. We’ve kept our promise and provided the children with the best care possible and access to learning aids. The building they live in, however, is too small to accommodate so many students learning remotely – especially since the number of residents continues to grow. Next month we will move them to a larger, more comfortable space.

With the addition of this new space, our costs will increase. We also need to purchase more tablets as there simply aren’t enough for six children, especially since they all start school at the same time. We are looking forward to these changes as we know that you will continue to help us create a happy home and the best learning environment for our children.

We love seeing them excited about their school work. Your support has helped them get back on their feet after incredibly difficult life experiences, and their gratitude and enthusiasm towards new possibilities shine through every day.

We need to dry out the buildings as quickly as possible

Urgent help for flood victims

The most vulnerable are the elderly and disabled, living in remote rural areas and small towns, where reaching them is difficult. You’ll be informed about every penny spent to help them. 100% of the funds raised will go directly towards targeted, precise aid tailored to the needs of those affected.
