Project Rwanda

At the start of our work in Rwanda, Hope Milele Africa worked in partnership with Uganda based Siyabonga Milele Africa to provide food and supplies to about 40 families in Rwanda.   In April of 2017 we began providing ongoing support, school fees, medical insurance and child sponsorship in Rwanda for a small number of children in Rwanda.  This was needed due to the closure of a US based non profit that had been providing support.  As services expanded,  it was no longer practical or cost effective to deliver services in Rwanda through a Ugandan non-profit. 

In July of 2017 our board voted to shift delivery to Baho Outreach Church in Rwanda.  Baho Outreach Church later formed a separate non-profit called Baho Community to comply with Rwandan Government regulations. We work very closely with Baho Community and have known their leaders for over 20 years. Through church and past associations, they are very familiar with the children we are serving. Baho community works very closely with children and their families to provide high quality services through the non-profit and spiritual support through the Church.. We get regular updates on the children, are made aware of immediate needs and have been provided with excellent accountability for funds.   We are providing over 80 children with high quality education. We have several children in boarding school and 11 kids in college. Two have now completed completed college.. We are providing spiritual mentoring,  medical insurance for their entire families and food when needed during school breaks.
