Kim's campaign for Rwanda Girls Initiative
Kim needs your help to educate girls in Rwanda!
Rwanda Girls Initiative educates and empowers girls in Rwanda to be the next generation of leaders in their communities and country. We are building an upper-secondary boarding school which will educate and support the ‘whole girl’ through strong college-prep academics, health and nutrition, social and emotional development, and extracurricular programs. We will develop a new model for investing in the education of girls in Rwanda which will be rooted in connections to the local community, strengthened by national and international partnerships, and supported by diverse and sustainable sources of income. The societal effects of girls receiving educational opportunities are widespread: increased educational opportunities positively affect the economic earnings and productivity of the girl as she reaches adulthood, increases the health of both herself and her children, and is a key component to ending the cycle of poverty.
We need your help to enable these girls to pursue education at our schools and gain opportunities to facilitate a better and brighter future! Many of these girls are in need of scholarships, ranging from full educational scholarships to things like uniforms or meals. Please make a contribution to help these girls pursue their education!

RGI gives life changing opportunities to girls in Rwanda
Rwanda Girls Initiative is developing a unique and replicable model for investing in Rwanda’s growth and development, rooted in the following distinctive elements:
- Educate Girls in Rwanda: An educated girl invests in her family, community and country. By focusing on girls’ education, we can improve the lives and futures of individual girls, while creating a ripple effect throughout the country.
- Build Sustainable Schools: The school will be independent from RGI within 7 years of opening. Rather than relying on a ‘traditional aid model,’ we will develop sustainable sources of school funding including tuition, government support, and on-site business income.
- Form Strong Partnerships: Local, national, and international partnerships will be key to the success of the school. We are building the school in partnership with the local community and government in Rwanda – while bringing in unique resources from international corporations, universities, and non-profit organizations.
