Overview

Mission

Love Alive International has operated in Rwanda for the past 12 years. Our primary purpose is to share the Love of Christ through actions of helping people. We sponsor 400 children in primary and secondary education. We provide patient care and health insurance for vulnerable people, and provide care for orphaned or abandoned infants. We have an early learning center for children aged 3-5. We are building a preschool and elementary school.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2022 we expanded our early learning center for underprivileged children to receive early intervention services from play-based education to nutrition. We serve 130 children daily. Parents pay approximately 30% of total costs. Our expenses detailed in program expenses minus salaries and rent and utilities as counted elsewhere

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
