Campaigning in Rwanda

We are doing whatever it takes to reach every last child

Summary

Rwanda Country spotlight

We're campaigning for the poorest children, particularly those in rural areas:  The current education system does not meet the needs of all children, particularly the poorest.  Despite commitments, the state has not invested in early childhood education services, provision is not free but dependant on parental capacity to pay.

We're campaigning for girls at risk of child marriage: This disparity is so pronounced in Zimbabwe, where rural areas tend to have the highest numbers of child marriages due to poverty. Poverty remains a major driving factor for child marriages, as families experiencing acute poverty may find it easier to marry off young girls compared to raise income to purchase food, grain and cattle.
