Rwanda Educational Microcredit GG
About Us
In early 2019 seven New Hampshire Lakes Region Rotary clubs and Meredith Rotary’s Interact club donated $14,000 to the Rotary Foundation. Those donations were matched by District 7870’s District Designated Funds and The Rotary Foundation to create the $49,000 Rwanda Children Education Foundation MicroCredit Global Grant in April 2019.
Since 2013 the Rwanda Children Education Foundation (RCEF), a Laconia, NH based 501C3 non-profit organization, had been providing school fees, scholastic materials, and supplemental food to poverty stricken children in Rwanda so that they could attend school. RCEF always had a plan to provide micro-loans to micro-business groups or families so that they may start local businesses to then be able to experience self-sufficiency and finance their children’s education on their own. But RCEF did not have the resources to start the micro-loan project. That is where the power of Rotary Global Grants came to make that plan come to reality.
