CHILD HOMELESSNESS IN RWANDA

More than 3,000 youth actively experience homelessness on a daily basis in Rwanda’s capital city, Kigali. Driven to the streets by poverty and abuse, they experience further trauma, hunger, illness, violence, and addiction.

Your partnership empowers youth and families to heal, reunify, and leave homelessness through long-term solutions.
