Rwanda

World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization, dedicated to working with children, their families and communities worldwide to see them reach their full potential by tackling the root causes of poverty and injustice.

We have been working in Rwanda since 1994, and for the first six years, the key focus of our interventions was relief and rehabilitation for the close to 3 million people that were displaced because of the genocide. In the year 2000, we began long-term, child-focused area development programmes in different parts of the country, targeting vulnerable children and their families with interventions in the areas of education and child sponsorship; health and nutrition; water, sanitation and hygiene; and economic empowerment of households.

Our more than 300 staff in Rwanda currently work in 24 out of 30 Districts, supporting more than 1.2 million people –especially children–through 27 area development programmes.
