Food support to 400 orphans family's in Rwanda

INTRODUCTION

After observing that 39 per cent of the population in Rwanda living below the poverty line and 16 per cent living in extreme poverty, it is understandable that Children are disproportionally affected by this poverty, experiencing multiple deprivations of their basic needs include getting food.

So, in order to contribute to resolve the problem, EJO TWIFUZA Organization initiated the project of providing Food support to 400 orphans families in Rwanda from 2023 though the fundraising support of the GlobalGiving.

The objective of this project was to funding seeds for 400 small vegetable gardens for 400 orphans’ families managed by children to grow, plant and harvest their own food in order to contributing to alleviate the problem and see how we can help vulnerable children to get foods.

EJOTWIFUZA aim was to mobilizing a budget of the total budget needed of $24,800 to provide small vegetable garden for 400 orphan children family to grow, plant and harvest their own food to help ensure food security and hope to eat to this vulnerable orphan children families

REALIZATIONS AND IMPACTS UP TO DECEMBER 2025

Thank you to our donors and supporter because with USD 366$ fundraised from the GlobalGiving Platform, out of 400 vegetable gardens, 21 are provide from April 2023 to 30 November 2024.

From December2024 to March 2025 this project has not received a donation from the GlobalGiving platform, but received some local contributions amounted of 120$.With this amounts the organization have bought seeds to use in the following season in small vegetable gardens once other money for technical support could been  mobilized to cultivate 4 additional Vegetable gardens.

From April 2025 to December 2025, the Organization mobilized other USD 125 to adding to USD 120 mobilized before to totalize the amount of USD 245 from local contributions. This amount served to provide 4 Vegetable gardens to 4 families of vulnerable Orphans children. As this activity was ended with December 2025 due to a cultivating season that was not favorable in the quarter from May to September 2025, we haven’t been able to provide the quarter reports in this period from May to December 2025.

But Compared to our Targeted outcome of finding 400 vegetable gardens with a budget of $24,800, it is observed with the end of 2025 that 25 vegetable gardens are provided with $ 611 fundraised from the Global fund platform and from local contributions.

This means that we remain to provide 375 vegetable gardens to 375 remaining families of vulnerable children. The fight is continuing to mobilize the remaining budget of $ 24,189 to achieve our targeted objectives.
