We believe every child should be given the opportunity to learn to read and write and reach his or her potential!!! Each child is unique. Our purpose is to provide educational opportunities for children in need and equip them with moral values to become independent, productive citizens.
Urukundo Foundation is a non-profit organization serving the vulnerable children of Cyeza Sector, Muhanga District, south Province, Rwanda, Africa. The need for affordable education for orphans, abandoned and very poor children in Rwanda is critical. Urukundo Children's Home and Learning Center under the umbrella of Hope Made Real in the US is building such a school system.
Having now established the Urukundo Learning Center (ULC) we have even tester outreach to children in the community. UCL includes Phase #1 of the Cyakabiri Preschool Project. It has 3 completed classrooms and presently serves 150 children with a staff of 6 teachers, a crossing guard, night guard and maintenance man.
Phase #2 Primary grades 1 and 2, each with two classrooms, is completed and 94 students will be attending in January 2014. In addition we have 1 room for the library and a combined music/art room. The primary school at present has three teachers and a security man at night. We need to employ 3 more teachers for January.
The project at present is to construct and equip 8 more primary classrooms. In time this school will include all elementary grades with 2 rooms for each grade.
Urukundo owns the land that is needed for this project. Donations will be used to help construct and equip the remaining classrooms. Please contact Carol at falkes@verizon.net for more details to partner with us to provide education to so many children.
