our Model

Travel with us to Rwanda

Join us on our Insight Trip to Rwanda August 30 to September 6, 2025 in partnership with The JoYOUs Journey.

Flourish Rwanda equips children and families in Rwanda to lift themselves out of poverty through education, health & wellbeing, and economic empowerment.  
Spiritual formation is at the heart of everything we do. Through our holistic, child-focused community development model, we seek to equip the children and families we serve with the resources and skills they need to flourish.

Client Testimony

“I’ve no words to express my joy and gratitude for the support and parental love Flourish Rwanda continues to show us, yet we have nothing to give you in return. I’ll never forget the COVID relief, tuition, and meals you provided for our children. We couldn’t dream of any because we couldn’t afford unlike today when we can support ourselves with some basic necessities like soap and kids’ clothes.”
— Nyiramatabaro Sizaria
