WV Rwanda Annual Report 2025

In Fiscal Year 2025, World Vision Rwanda(WV Rwanda) advanced child well-being through integrated programmes in child protection, education, health, WASH, livelihoods, and humanitarian response, reaching hundreds of thousands of children and families across the country. Through strong partnerships, community engagement, and innovative approaches, WV Rwanda continued to support resilient families and thriving communities where children can reach their full potential.

Child protection and inclusion remained central to WV Rwanda’s work. Efforts focused on promoting children’s participation, expanding access to services for children with disabilities, and improving learning outcomes. Capacity building for caregivers, teachers, and health workers, alongside digital innovations in case management and learning, enhanced service quality, accountability, and overall impact. Collaboration with national institutions further strengthened inclusive systems and coordination.

In Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), more than 200,000 people gained access to safe and reliable water services. Sanitation and hygiene interventions were expanded across households, schools, and health facilities, combining infrastructure development, behaviour change, and local systems strengthening to ensure sustainability and improved public health outcomes.

Through the Home-Grown School Feeding Programme, over 118,000 learners benefited from improved literacy, nutrition, and school environments. Notable gains were recorded in reading comprehension and hygiene practices, demonstrating the value of integrated education, nutrition, and WASH interventions in supporting better learning and health outcomes.

WV Rwanda also strengthened community health and nutrition systems by training health workers and community volunteers in nutrition services and introducing digital monitoring tools. These efforts improved service delivery, strengthened data use, and contributed to better child nutrition outcomes.

Livelihoods and resilience programmes addressed poverty and vulnerability through savings groups, financial inclusion, and economic empowerment models. Communities mobilized more than USD 7.8 million in savings, enhancing household financial security, strengthening resilience, and promoting long-term self-reliance.

The Child Sponsorship Programme supported nearly 75,000 children, strengthening child participation, community-based monitoring, and meaningful connections between children and sponsors.

WV Rwanda also delivered integrated support to refugees and host communities, improving access to education, WASH, livelihoods, and environmental services, while strengthening public health preparedness. The DAFI scholarship programme further expanded access to higher education for refugee youth, supporting 178 students, including 42 graduates.

These achievements reflect WV Rwanda’s continued commitment to improving child well-being and supporting sustainable, community-driven development across Rwanda.
