Educate vulnerable children in Rwanda

Empower Develop Dignify (EDD) Progress Report

Empower Develop Dignify (EDD) sincerely acknowledges our partnership with GlobalGiving and all our supporters around the world. Together, we are making history!

Academic Year 2025–2026 Overview

Since our last report, EDD has been actively expanding its impact. This academic year, we successfully opened an additional class Primary Three (P3) and welcomed new students from underprivileged families who deserve access to quality education.

Currently, EDD serves a total of 152 students across both our Pre-primary and Primary levels. 

What Makes EDD Different

EDD is more than just a school it’s a community of care and transformation. Our mission is to support children from vulnerable families who cannot afford quality education, ensuring they still receive the best learning experience possible to change their lives and communities.

What EDD Provides

Beyond academic skills, EDD offers:

• Nutritious meals to support growth and learning

• Scholastic materials and uniforms to remove barriers to education

• Core carricure  and life skills training

• Speech and language enhancement programs

Our goal is to nurture the whole child academically, socially, and emotionally—so that each student can reach their full potential.

From Our Head Teacher: Agrippine’s Story

“From the very first day I joined EDD, I was deeply impressed! Having worked in various educational institutions, I noticed that while we may use the same national curriculum, EDD’s approach truly stands out.

At EDD, children are at the center of all learning. We emphasize hands-on, integrated learning that builds real understanding and creativity.

We also promote mindful education, cultivating responsibility, empathy, and care for others. Nutrition at EDD goes beyond providing meals it’s about ensuring children grow healthily during their most critical early years.

What touches me most is the love and respect our team shows each child. This creates a warm environment where children feel safe, independent, and free to express themselves.”

Our Gratitude and Next Steps

EDD is profoundly grateful to every supporter who shares our vision and values. Together, we are creating opportunities for children who might otherwise be left behind.

We believe that by joining hands, we can continue to make history and shape a brighter future for all.

We warmly invite you to continue supporting our mission especially through our upcoming fundraising campaign on December 2- 3rd, 2025. Every contribution helps us sustain and expand our programs for these deserving children.

Thank you for being part of the EDD family!
