The objects of the Charity are to relieve poverty in Rwanda, particularly in the Western Province, to advance education and to provide relief in the country to those in need by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability or financial hardship. The Charity aims to achieve this by working with the government and local communities in Rwanda to identify the most pressing challenges and then piloting sustainable initiatives to address those challenges. In particular the Charity promotes effective education, vocational and farm training and enterprise. It also supports inclusivity particularly for those on the margins of society, especially street children and young people living with disability.
