World Connect Rwanda
Supporting locally-led development in Rwanda by investing in the solutions of Rwandan communities to address their most pressing challenges.
World Connect
Rwanda
Since 2012, World Connect Rwanda has invested $870,450 in 187 community-led projects toward which communities have co-invested $325,748 and raised an additional $243,663 from other funders.
Our investments have improved education, health, economic opportunity, environmental protection, water, hygiene and sanitation, and agriculture while empowering women and youth to lead these local development initiatives.
Through a network of local development champions, World Connect Rwanda has supported locally-led development projects across all the four provinces of Rwanda and the City of Kigali. These projects are designed and implemented by local community members who ensure that the initiatives solve their most pressing issues and continue to sustain benefits for their communities beyond the seed investment from World Connect Rwanda.
Our co-investment partnership model leads to skill growth, expanded trust and unity, and readied communities with localized development leadership.
