“Rwanda is rebuilding itself once again as one nation and that is the reason why we are making progress. Now many Rwandans are making their ends meet and others are able to do better than they have before.”
Paul Kagame – President of Rwanda
Introduction
Rwanda, known as the "Land of a Thousand Hills," is a landlocked country in East - Central Africa.
Rwanda is a nation of resilience, beauty, and hope. Since the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, the country has undergone an extraordinary journey of healing and renewal. Its achievements, improving education, strengthening health systems, empowering women, and building a vibrant economy reflect the determination of its people. Home to more than 14.6 million citizens, Rwanda is recognized across Africa for its stability, safety, and deep commitment to caring for both its people and its environment. Kigali shines at the heart of the country as one of Africa’s cleanest and most rapidly developing cities.
It is against this backdrop that support is especially needed for the most marginalized groups, children under five, unemployed youth, the poorest women, and vulnerable rural communities. Guided by the needs of these groups, AEE Rwanda is committed to driving lasting transformation. Our focus is not on short-term interventions, but on sustainable, long-term change made possible by equipping individuals to rebuild their own lives, supported by communities and systems that value respect, empowerment, and dignity.

How We Help?
Since 1987 AEE Rwanda has been committed to transforming lives and helping people regardless of their faith or background overcome spiritual and material poverty. Throughout the years, we have supported individuals and communities with the resources and guidance they most needed, always grounded in our Christian values.
We remain focused on achieving sustainable change by empowering and equipping people, and by strengthening partnerships with foundations, corporations, multinational companies, and local government to ensure long-term impact.
We Build People's Practical Capabilities
Rwanda continues to experience significant gaps in education, healthcare, employment rates and household income. The gaps are most often experienced in rural areas as well as between the income-rich and income-poor. For this reason, AEE Rwanda has local offices in 29 of Rwanda’s 30 districts, providing grassroots and engaged support. We target four different groups of people with learning and development activities, including education, vocational training, health, nutrition, and WASH, as well as human rights and safeguarding, livelihoods, and food security.
We Partner with Local Churches For Holistic Community Development
The local church, of many denominations, is the epicenter of the Rwandan community. It creates the social fabric that brings people together in urban and rural settings. We work in partnership with local churches to support the capacity and understanding of churches in engaging and responding to the needs of their community. We ask questions like, “Are we relevant? Are we supporting the practical, social and spiritual needs of the people?”. In this way, the churches become agents of practical, social and spiritual development. This is critical in bringing substantive, sustainable change that is supported by the social infrastructure.
