The Rwandan Orphans Project
Street Kids of Rwanda - Orphans of Genocide - Need Your Help
400 kids have been rescued from the streets and brought together in an unfinished warehouse to form El Shaddai Orphanage. El Shaddai is struggling to provide food, water, shelter, education, security, health care and other basic necessities to these children. This project is also working to provide athletic and cultural activities, vocational training and mentoring and “catch up school”. These programs are intended to help the kids fit into society. El Shaddai will be forced to move to a new location in the future. Help is needed to purchase land and build at the new site. The Immediate Needs Until the new location can be developed, there are many immediate needs at the existing location: Money for food and water More beds, blankets, mattresses and sheets Medicine Money for salaries for director, teachers, nurse, cooks and care takers Medical and dental care Gas burners and fuel for cooking A generator Lights for the classrooms Clothing Materials and funding for sewing classes Transportation School uniforms and tuition Recreational equipment and shoes School supplies The project committee is also looking for donations of time and expertise. All funds donated to the project go directly to the orphanage.
