Educators for Needy Children
Educators for Needy Children – ENC, is a Rwandan NGO run by young Rwandan teachers. They have a powerful model for helping children who face significant challenges and Equip is delighted to be working in partnership with them, providing financial support and co-managing some projects. Their mission is to “strive to fight health, moral and socio-economic conditions that impede the learning and development of underprivileged children” so they share our ambition to ‘equip’ children to go to school!
Based in Musanze, in the north of Rwanda, they provide basic school equipment and uniforms in some of the poorest communities so that children can access education. Their work in schools is some of most encouraging and transformational we have seen in Rwanda. Based on our vision to enable Rwandans to create their own destinies, it is a joy to support this group of talented professionals.
School Equipment
Children are carefully selected to ensure the resources go to the neediest. They are presented with gifts of schoolbooks and pens which will enable them to access learning more easily and which will help their families spend the funds they have on food and rent.
Motivational Assemblies
A key feature of the work of Educators for Needy Children is assembling the children within each school to encourage them to attend and work hard. As ENC are mostly teachers they have an excellent rapport with their audiences and deliver important messages to keep the children safe and motivated.
