Help Kigali Kids will help break the cycle of poverty by teaching English to the children in Kigali, Rwanda.

Our goal is to raise money to send over 20,000 books and supplies throughout the villages of Kigali, Rwanda. In parallel we will raise funds to build satellite reading centers for the Kigali Reading Center, and partner with the Africa Academy for Careers to create a career center and library in Kigali. Empowering children through English education and community engagement will open education and employment opportunities, ultimately breaking the cycle of poverty.

• For every child to have books and supplies that they desperately need to learn English

• For every child to have access to quality education

• For every child to have a career path that they can work towards after high school or college, including training and mentorship programs.

At Help Kigali Kids, we will support the children of Kigali in multiple ways.
