Overview Of The Successful Rwanda Education Assistance Project

By Virginia Jackson


When it comes to charity and education, REAP is at the forefront. Standing for rwanda education assistance project, the organization works to help boys and girls of the area develop educational skills which can lead to careers in a number of areas. While this is the case, it can often be difficult for many to learn about the program.

The organization has been working since 2009 with a rural public school in Eastern Rwanda and the local community. In doing so, the organization is helping to provide a better future through education. The mission and vision of the group include creating a vibrant future and enriching the environment for rural communities in Rwanda. In doing so, the group offers accessible education which prepares students to become responsible and productive citizens.

REAP has been working in the area since 2009, though it was founded much earlier in 2006. Children associated with the project participate in an environment that is fun and educational. For, the school works to educate children whom will become critical thinkers, problem solvers and compassionate leaders. After which, it is hoped that many students will develop a career in which the individual can use these and other skills.

A father and daughter volunteer team are to thank for the establishment of REAP. For, Edward and daughter Rachel Ballen traveled to Rwanda to volunteer with a local orphanage. During the visit, the two discovered how much love the Rwandan children had for learning. After which, the two became involved with the orphanage, local public school and food distribution center to implement REAP.

The main commitment at the time the work started was to harvest the skills each child learned and highlight those skills to the local community. In that time, there was a great deal going politically in the area. As such, volunteers had to overcome a number of challenges and obstacles while working in the area. For, not long before the organization began work, the area had suffered from a long period of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

The main commitment at the time the work began was to harvest and demonstrate the skills the children had learned to local and surrounding communities. In addition, as many of the children were orphans staying at the orphanage, it was hoped these demonstrations would prove that the project assisted all children interested in learning, whether abandoned, impoverished or otherwise.

Since inception in 2008, the organization has made a great deal of progress when it comes to educational programs and projects in Rwanda. For example, there are a number of student groups, student learning programs, a school feeding program and teacher accommodations. Whereas, there has also been a number of enhancements to the school library along with computer training and collaborative partnerships.

While it is clear to see that REAP has been a resounding success, it is important that the project continue. For, without the work of the project and volunteers, there is no telling where these children would be today. As such, whether through political action, financial donations or volunteer work, is important that this organization continue to be supported with regards to these and future efforts.
