Education

Every child can flourish with quality, inclusive education in a safe and nurturing environment—an education that provides a solid foundation for the child to reach their full potential. AEE Rwanda supports children’s education at the early childhood development (ECD) stage as well as in primary and secondary schools. We recognize the crucial role that the home plays in supporting formal education, and include interventions aimed at strengthening families’ ability to support their children’s learning. Our programs enhance the quality and accessibility of basic education, from early childhood through to senior school, including non-formal and alternative education options. 

Nutrition

Ensuring all children receive adequate nourishment is essential. AEE Rwanda integrates nutrition-focused initiatives across projects, including early childhood development centers (ECDs), savings and self-help groups, and improved agriculture programs. We provide practical training in nutrition through household, school, and community-based kitchen garden projects. Community health workers, attached to nutrition groups, teach mothers how to grow and source foods for an affordable, balanced diet. Parents also share tips at regular community kitchen events.

Safety & Protection

Every child has the right to grow up free from abuse, violence, and neglect. As a child-focused organization, this is our highest priority. Children need to grow up in families and communities that are free from abuse and violence, especially gender-based violence. AEE Rwanda works to prevent violence through training and awareness campaigns that change family and community mindsets regarding children, women, and conflict resolution. By fostering safer, more supportive environments, we help ensure that every child can reach their full potential.
