About RTM
Rise Together Mission (RTM) is a Christian faith-based charitable organization committed to following Jesus' footsteps of loving God and loving our neighbours. At the core of our mission lies a deep commitment and unwavering faith that drive us to serve some of the most neglected individuals in developing countries - children with disabilities and their families.

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
You may know the African proverb, "it takes a village to raise a child." Now, imagine trying to raise a child with a disability in a community facing poverty, isolation, and discrimination. The challenge becomes even greater.
Children with disabilities need support in every part of their lives - physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and social. At Rise Together Mission, we aim to provide holistic care that nurtures all of these areas.
But offering this level of support requires resources, training, and infrastructure that are unavailable in rural Rwanda. That’s why RTM is committed to developing a practical, culturally grounded holistic support model designed specifically for the realities these children and families face.
