Equip is a small Christian charity. We have been working in Rwanda for over thirteen years building schools and sponsoring education in the southern outskirts of Kigali. We train young people in vocational skills within a Christian context.
In 2018 we became a registered INGO (International Non-Governmental Organisation) in Rwanda, which has enabled us to expand our work.

Rwanda
Nothing substitutes for experiencing this beautiful East African country for oneself, getting to know its gentle yet resilient people, reflecting on its recent, traumatic history and understanding its rich and vibrant culture. There is no substitute for it. It changes perspective, challenges preconceptions and ultimately, touches one’s heart.
Our Projects
Getting involved effectively requires wisdom. Over the last fifteen years, the team in Rwanda has talked with a range of local leaders, worked to understand government priorities and listened to the views of the people we want to serve. The aim is always to open up new opportunities and encourage a desire for excellence.
Education
Learning is at the heart of every success. With it, people are free to determine their own pathway and can even give back and help others. By supporting existing schools, creating new ones and promoting quality professional development among the teachers and leaders, hopes, dreams and aspirations can be fulfilled.
The Equip Teaching Awards
The Equip Teaching Awards programme is designed to honour and celebrate the unique contribution of some of the finest teachers in Rwanda.
Our Charity
Since 2009, the Trustees, together with a team of dedicated volunteers both in the UK and Rwanda have remained focused on the important objectives set out by the Charity and registered with the Charity Commission (1134890). The annual returns and financial accounts show clearly how every penny has been spent. Since 2018, the Charity has been fully registered as an International Non-Governmental Organisation in Rwanda. It is a privilege to serve.
Donate
Nothing is possible without the support of the many regular and one-off donations. The people who support us do so knowing that every effort is made to deploy funds efficiently and effectively. It is hard to explain just how much this is appreciated.
