Embrace Rwanda provides a remarkable example of how developing relationships, establishing partnerships and building on the strengths and resilience of a very vulnerable population has created an environment for healing and growth. Evaluations the organization has completed of the Healthy Mums Program, for example, show a significant difference in health outcomes.
We are proud supportors of this organization that was founded by one of our church members!
Embrace Rwanda embodies mutual respect and understanding. The Rwandan journey out of the darkness of genocide cannot be ignored. As one Embrace Rwanda participant noted, “You have brought out our sorrows. It is very important.” The project’s Rwandan partners and participants are determined to move forward with hope, in the spirit of reconciliation. This creates sustainability and self-sufficiency, the two primary goals of local Rwandans.
Through the power of many partnerships, in Canada, UK, USA and a relationship with NLUC that begain in 2006, Embrace Rwanda is working and growing, creating a bridge between poverty and hope for a healthy future.
