Projects with a heart
Are you celebrating a birthday, wedding, company anniversary and would like to support a project? Projects with Heart is a project that supports children and adults with need-based donations. Your contribution is needed and as important as the impact you make for the local population in Rwanda.
Background
Rwanda is still suffering from the psychological and infrastructural consequences of the genocide due to poverty and trauma. Because of this, the shortage of capable labor is omnipresent. The great poverty in the population does not only affect the people in the countryside, where the financial problem is only one cause of poverty. People usually do not have access to basic needs such as clean water, medical care or education.
Help us to fulfill the wishes of the Rwandans. We can make small and big projects possible with your help! A small donation can already contribute something to improve the situation for a few people.
