We received a generous donation of over 100 glasses from USA company Zenni Optical.
Zenni Optical made glasses for those whose eyes had been tested and they were then sent to Rwanda. Everyone was excited to receive their glasses. They invited some local leaders on the day they were handed out, to show how Zenni Optical has helped. There are many people in Rwanda who can’t afford glasses. One woman said that she had been saving up for 3 years! Also, a man with a sight problem hasn’t been able to read for 10 years and now is able to read again. Everyone was shown how to use and look after their glasses. Thank you Zenni Optical for the generous donation, which has made a great difference to many lives. |
school minibus appeal
School minibus
Thanks to supporters and donors, we have been able to buy a school bus for Tubarere Nursery and Primary School.
Many children have been walking a long distance to school and home again each day, sometimes more than an hour each way. They often arrived late to school. Some children took bicycles taxis, with 2 or 3 children on the back of the bike. This can be dangerous on the busy road.
Another problem is that when it is raining many pupils can't get to school because the roads are bad and it is too wet.
The minibus will be a safer way for the children to travel to school. In addition, school staff will be able to organise learning trips and extra curricular activities.

Helping Rwanda's children have a future
Aid for Education is a Scottish registered charity, established in 2010. We believe that God cares about those in need and that Jesus taught us to love our neighbour as ourselves. With your support, we can give a voice to the voiceless and hope to the hopeless.
Aid for Education currently works alongside Children Might Foundation (CMF), a Rwandan NGO based in the Eastern Province of Rwanda. CMF helps some of Rwanda's poorest children and their families; children whose families cannot afford to support them in their desire to gain access to education, basic medical care, or shelter.
Aid for Education supports CMF's income generating projects (a goat project and a women’s farming project) as well as sponsoring children, funding education for school students, providing children with school materials and helping children and their families with health care costs.
