RWANDA: An Overview

Survivors of the genocide
Together with our partners, Jubilee Action has now built a community centre, with four classrooms, an Internet connection and 25 computers, and a large hall. Vocational classes, literacy training, and lessons in hygiene, nutrition, agriculture, and how to manage money will be offered at hours that suit local people who have to work all day.

We also have a clinic, laboratory and facilities for minor surgery, such as stitching up wounds, and where babies can be delivered. The clinic will be administered by AVEGA, a Rwandan widows’ group with experience of running two similar clinics in Rwanda. Medical insurance is being provided for all 112 households of orphans. In the clinic’s waiting room area there will be educational videos about nutrition, hygiene and sexual and reproductive health.  


A Vision for the Future


For a comparatively small sum we can send bright, ambitious orphans to university or college. Working with SURF, we are enabling orphans from each village to further their education, often moving to the capital, Kigali, where they live in a house with orphans from the same village while they complete their studies. The orphans who remain in the village are given extra attention by SURF’s community and social workers.
