Mission & Vision

"To serve children with disabilities and their families in Rwanda

for the renewal of their body, mind, spirit and community"

Holistic Support Program

What We Do

You may be familiar with the African proverb, 'it takes a village to raise a child.' Now, envision the immense challenges involved in supporting a child with a disability within a community where poverty, isolation, and discrimination prevail.

Recognizing that children with disabilities require comprehensive attention and support in every aspect of their lives - including physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and social - RTM strives to provide holistic developmental and educational assistance. 

However, facilitating such holistic support requires substantial resources, expertise, and infrastructure, all of which are lacking in the rural areas of Rwanda. This is precisely why RTM is working diligently to develop a tailored holistic support model that accounts for the unique environment in which these children reside.
