The community of Rugarama is graduating
Rugarama's community is making strong progress toward caring for all its children, not just those who are sponsored. They are now transitioning to self-sufficiency. Together with other sponsors, you’ve played an important part in helping Rugarama get there. Thank you!
Program Details
The Rugarama (pronounced roo-gah-rah-mah) community is located in eastern Rwanda, about 100 kilometres from Kigali, the capital. The area is characterized by hills, flat plains, and a few marshy areas. While there are two rainy seasons, people here endure more periods of drought than elsewhere in Rwanda.

Building sustainable futures together
World Vision child sponsorship starts with understanding what is preventing children from surviving and thriving in their community. We then work with the community to bring the pieces of the puzzle together to build a better life for all children.
