Overview
Mission
We believe in the transforming power of education. With Nelson Mandela, we believe that from personal development to nation-building to battling climate change, education is our strongest tool for making a better, more just world. Rwandan Educational Enrichment supports students and staff in underserved, mostly rural, Rwandan schools by contributing material resources to their programs and by encouraging them to fulfill personal dreams and ambitions. Beyond school campuses we foster and fund opportunities for individuals to learn new skills and to become more self-reliant financially. We are committed to helping Rwandans lead healthier lives by enhancing their formal academic education, promoting vocational and self-education, and fighting poverty in their communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
Grants were made to support educational and related programs, which included a health clinic, in Rwanda. Friends of Rwanda worked with eight schools in the Rulindo parish in rural Rwanda. The schools are operated through a partnership with the Rwandan Catholic Church and the Rwandan government. Additional information is available at: www.R-E-E.orgThe Organization's funds are distributed for the various projects through the administrator of the Rulindo schools operated by the Catholic Church.Thanks to support from our donors, we have: funded the kitchen/nutrition building at Gitabage's health center; covered school/lunch fees; kept ES Gasiza's treasured "milk for teachers" flowing this term; helped three young Rwandans progress at university; and bought more sports, classroom, and arts equipment.

- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
