Become part of our heart project Rwanda and get an overview of our projects. Our concerns are the promotion and empowerment of young people through education, medical care, social and economic development.
We work on a voluntary basis with no administrative costs. Your help will therefore reach 100% where it is needed.
Learning for a good future
In 2017, Future for Kids launched the “Rerero Ejo Hazaza” (Learning for a Good Future) project at our location in Vratsa, which supports children from poor families aged 6 to 12. This is a wonderful continuation of our very first project, the MGEC Kids.
Vocational training for young women
In 2015 our vocational training center was opened in Rwasa. Since then, students from poor families have received state-recognized training as tailors or, alternatively, training in arts and crafts. This will help you gain a foothold in your career.
Hope for “single mothers”
Young women who become pregnant unintentionally live on the margins of society in Rwanda. In 2019, together with a local partner NGO, we set up a training center for young homeless mothers in Kinigi. A highly acclaimed child care center was added in 2023.
New livelihood
We have been supporting 16 Batwa families since 2012. Originally hunters and gatherers, they lost their traditional habitat with the establishment of Volcano National Park. In our cooperative they now learn to farm land. We enable the children to attend school.
The origin of Future for Kids
Our work in Rwanda began with this project in 2008. The Mountain Gorilla Education Center (MGEC) in Vratsa was originally a home for 50 orphans. Some are already adults and stand on their own two feet. Many continue to receive support in their training.
On 8 th June Future For Kids inaugurated a heart-project, the “Early Childhood Development Centre” in Kinigi, complementing our Sewing Centre. It provides a professional and safe day care for 45 small children, giving their single mothers the opportunity to focus on their sewing training.
In 2020 we built a training building with two sewing workshops. The new sewing center for 50 young, single mothers is located in the Kinigi sector, right on the edge of the national parkwith the mountain gorillas. The choice of location is an expression of our years of commitment to protect the last mountain gorillas in Volcano National Park, their survival is closely related to the living conditions of the people around the park. Since its completion in November 2020, we have been working there together with the local partner organization Muhisimbi in particular the education of underage mothers..
