The Need
Nyaruguru is a farming District in the South of Rwanda with a population of 318,000.
Urban population: 7,000
Rural, subsistence-farming population: 311,000
Average income: $300/year
Public School Options for our target community: 3-hour round trip walk in the mountains; $35-$40/ month public school fees; leading to little or no education option for village families.
God’s Answer to the Cries of His People
Beth Ammi Christian Fellowship Church in Nyaruguru and Kingdom Restoration Society have partnered to open the first-ever school for this remote village community in the Nyaruguru District. This will be a private school, teaching children from a Christian worldview. Tuition will be $5 per month and open to all families, regardless of faith.
