Help us Create Effective Learning Environments for Children

Rwanda

Rwanda is one of the smallest countries on the African continent and also the most densely populated. There are about 525 inhabitants per square kilometre! Because of its natural landscape, Rwanda is known as the “land of a thousand hills”, and because of its history, also the “land of a thousand problems”.

Overview:
  • around 14 million inhabitants
  • in 1994, it was the scene of a genocide — in just 100 days, about 1 million people of the Tutsi ethnic group were murdered and 2 million fled the country
  • an agricultural country — about 62% of the working population is employed in farming (coffee, tea, bananas)

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to school closures around the world, depriving 463 million students of access to education. Due to social inequality and lack of internet access, many students have not been able to participate in any form of remote learning.

Good Factory is focused on creating equal opportunities for all and we’ve been working hard to make sure our children can continue their education. A few years ago, we promised Specioza and Claire, patients of our hospice in Rwanda, that we would take care of their children. We’ve kept our promise and provided the children with the best care possible and access to learning aids. The building they live in, however, is too small to accommodate so many students learning remotely – especially since the number of residents continues to grow. Next month we will move them to a larger, more comfortable space.

With the addition of this new space, our costs will increase. We also need to purchase more tablets as there simply aren’t enough for six children, especially since they all start school at the same time. We are looking forward to these changes as we know that you will continue to help us create a happy home and the best learning environment for our children.

We love seeing them excited about their school work. Your support has helped them get back on their feet after incredibly difficult life experiences, and their gratitude and enthusiasm towards new possibilities shine through every day.

Urgent help for seniors

Let’s save Laudy and Jean from homelessness

Their entire life savings have been wiped out by the economic crisis. They haven’t been able to pay rent for nine months. If the landlord loses patience, they’ll end up on the street - with nowhere to turn. We don’t want them counting down the days until eviction!
