Save the Children believes every child deserves a future. In Rwanda and around the world, they work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, they are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. They ensure children’s unique needs are met and their voices are heard.  They deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.  They do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis – transforming their lives and the future they share.

Save the Children has been working in Rwanda since 1994. In the immediate aftermath of the genocide, Save the Children helped trace parents or relatives of thousands of children who had become separated from their families. Since then, they have been working in partnership with the government and local stakeholders to promote a bright future for Rwanda’s children.

At present, Save the Children has Programmes in Child Protection, Child Rights Governance, Education, Humanitarian Relief and Health and Nutrition. In 2017, Save the Children in Rwanda directly reached 395,079 children and 127,633 adults. Currently, SC Rwanda Program coverage reaches 30 districts of Rwanda.
