Good Neighbors launched its mission in Rwanda in 1994, amidst one of the gravest humanitarian crises of our times. As the country was suffering from unprecedented turmoil, we swiftly mobilized the organization’s historic first emergency relief team to the refugee camps in Goma city, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) in August, to provide timely and life-saving assistance, demonstrating our commitment to serve people in critical need.
By 1995, recognizing the enduring needs of making lasting impact, we established a permanent office in Kigali. Transitioning from initial emergency relief efforts, Good Neighbors Rwanda embraced an initiative of sustainable, systematic support, becoming among the first countries for our community development projects, which are characterized by a community-inclusive and holistic approach to achieve self-reliance of communities.
Currently, Good Neighbors Rwanda is making good changes in the six project areas across the diverse districts, including Gasabo, Kamonyi, Gisagara, Nyamagabe, Nyaruguru, and Karongi. In collaboration with esteemed partners like the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), we continue to strive for empowering people and transforming communities.
