In 2003, the Imbuto Foundation, established by the First Lady of the Republic of Rwanda, launched a scholarship project called "Edified Generation." It primarily focused on paying tuition fees for high-performing secondary school students from economically weak backgrounds. Then, in 2016, former beneficiaries of the Edified Generation programme came together, determined to give something back. They concluded that primary school and university students, too, should receive assistance in pursuing their education. Thus, they set up an NGO; it was the beginning of Edified Generation Rwanda (EGR).
Each of GlobalGiving’s nonprofit partners is required to send quarterly donor reports detailing the impact of their work.
