Rwanda Direct is a Christian Charity that: 

works through the Church in Rwanda to meet the deep needs of the country through education at all levels, leadership training and support of innovative and local aid and development. 

seeks to give support to work that is not easily financed from large aid agencies. It is intended to encourage community development and growth in capacity rather than dependency. 

promotes personal relationships between people and leaders in Rwanda and the UK, and encourages prayer for those who wish to. 

makes sure that money received goes straight to work in Rwanda 



Over recent years Rwanda Direct has supported:

East African Christian College ‐ support for fees to enable the College to train students from poor backgrounds at more advanced levels, equipping them for the needs of the country, helping provide cows for local income generation, I.T. 

Technical Schools ‐ sending tools or cash for tools to enable training in practical skills such as building, carpentry, plumbing 

Widows and Orphans ‐ including the Hannah Project in Byumba which helps child headed families caused by Aids or genocide.
