About A New Beginning Rwanda
A New Beginning was established in 2008 with the goal to assist a group of Rwandan widows and orphans displaced during the genocide in 1994 and now resettled by the Rwandan Government in an area of hitherto uncultivated Savannah, to speed the pace of economic development within the community and to achieve economic self-sufficiency and self-governance within five years.
During Phase One of the project, which covered 2009/10, an infrastructure of a community Centre comprising of a school and health post have been put in place to realise their fundamental human rights to basic education, healthcare and welfare and to harness their latent ability to work together as a community.
During Phase Two, starting January 2011, they were helped to achieve self-sufficiency by the end of 2013 through ongoing investment by A New Beginning in educational, health, training and natural resources, serving the entire community, run on environmentally sound principles and designed for wealth creation by making maximum use of locally available materials and community labour.
Phase Three now is to expand the School by building more classrooms for the 300+ pupils so they will be able to continue their first rate English taught education through to Secondary school.
All rooms are now occupied and our fundraising is to provide more classrooms for our oldest children who have been with us since we opened in 2009/10.
£24,000 is our goal for 4 more classrooms and 4 Toilets by February 2017.
