“Rwanda is rebuilding itself once again as one nation and that is the reason why we are making progress. Now many Rwandans are making their ends meet and others are able to do better than they have before.”
Paul Kagame – President of Rwanda
Introduction
Rwanda, known as the "Land of a Thousand Hills," is a landlocked country in East - Central Africa.
Rwanda is a nation of resilience, beauty, and hope. Since the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, the country has undergone an extraordinary journey of healing and renewal. Its achievements, improving education, strengthening health systems, empowering women, and building a vibrant economy reflect the determination of its people. Home to more than 14.6 million citizens, Rwanda is recognized across Africa for its stability, safety, and deep commitment to caring for both its people and its environment. Kigali shines at the heart of the country as one of Africa’s cleanest and most rapidly developing cities.
It is against this backdrop that support is especially needed for the most marginalized groups, children under five, unemployed youth, the poorest women, and vulnerable rural communities. Guided by the needs of these groups, AEE Rwanda is committed to driving lasting transformation. Our focus is not on short-term interventions, but on sustainable, long-term change made possible by equipping individuals to rebuild their own lives, supported by communities and systems that value respect, empowerment, and dignity.
