| Primary Exempt Purpose | We believe in the transforming power of education. With Nelson Mandela, we believe that from personal development to nation-building to battling climate change, education is our strongest tool for making a better, more just world. Rwandan Educational Enrichment supports students and staff in underserved, mostly rural, Rwandan schools by contributing material resources to their programs and by encouraging them to fulfill personal dreams and ambitions. Beyond school campuses we foster and fund opportunities for individuals to learn new skills and to become more self-reliant financially. We are committed to helping Rwandans lead healthier lives by enhancing their formal academic education, promoting vocational and self-education, and fighting poverty in their communities. | PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt |
