About Shelter Them – Rwanda
Shelter Them – Rwanda is a small Non-Governmental Organization registered with the Rwanda Governance Board since May 2013.
From being a weekly feeding program hosted by a church in Kigali, Shelter Them – Rwanda is now a fully independent, duly organized and well-structured grassroots NGO, currently supporting a total of 96 children living in 25 homes, spread between Kigali, the capital, and the village of Gateko in the Bugesera District. We employ 5 full time staff members at our offices in Kigali.
Shelter Them is NOT about aid. In essence, Shelter Them – Rwanda exists and operates with the single goal of allowing all the children and caregivers it serves to have a choice in the way their lives evolve, rather than having an inevitable future linked to poverty imposed on them. That is mostly achieved through education and capacity building.
To further our educational agenda, Shelter Them – Rwanda decided to explore ways in which it could extend early years education to all of its children. Given the size of our office in Kigali, and the potential for its expansion through mobile structures, it was decided that we would create a pilot Early Childhood Development Centre at our headquarters. This would provide education to all the children between zero and six years old under our care in Kigali. The plan is to incorporate a total of 15 children in the setting.
We are now looking to hire an additional full time member of staff, as a Early Childhood Education Centre Teacher to spearhead this initiative.
