Because every child deserves hope & opportunity.

Safety and stability are the foundations of a healthy and happy childhood.

The Rwandan Orphans Project is a US based charity dedicated to supporting homeless and vulnerable children in Rwanda by providing education, social care, and family rehabilitation. Through the generosity of individual donors and partners, ROP helps children escape life on the streets, find safe homes, and access opportunities for a brighter, more secure future.

I joined ROP because it was a sanctuary for those of us with nowhere else to go. It was more than just a shelter; it was where I found the the roots that allowed me to grow from a vulnerable boy on the streets of Kigali into the man I am today. ROP didn’t just provide me with food and a bed; it broke the cycle of poverty by giving me an education, discipline, and the belief that I could contribute to my country’s future.

Today, those roots have grown into a career focused on technology and impact. I’ve gone from seeking a safe place to sleep to co-founding an AI startup. ROP took a chance on a street kid, and in return, I’ve dedicated myself to helping Rwanda accelerate the vision of its future.
