In 2024, your generosity helped spark powerful transformation across Rwanda and Uganda—thank you! Children walked into classrooms full of energy and joy. Parents stepped into their roles as advocates. Teachers discovered new ways to help students thrive.
The numbers matter, but the stories say even more.
A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR 2024 IMPACT
When you invest in teachers, leaders, and families, the impact doesn’t stop there—it ripples out to children, schools, and communities. In 2024, your support made this possible:
3,710 teachers trained and mentored to bring engaging lessons to life.
“Now I confidently plan and teach lessons that truly engage my students.”
—Mrs. Mugenzi, Teacher
11,252 parents and caregivers supported to encourage learning at home.
After seeing a live community drama performed by Wellspring-trained family coaches, one Rwandan community saw 46 children return to school—because parents stepped up to prioritize education.
256 school leaders equipped to build safe, welcoming schools.
“Before punishing students, I now first listen carefully.” — Thierry, Director of Studies
169,300 children and youth now learning in safe, supportive environments.
After receiving support from her teacher through the Youth First program, Betty found the courage to forgive, rediscover her confidence, and return to the classroom with pride and purpose.
LYDIA FOUND HER VOICE
Lydia used to believe she had nothing to offer. But when her teacher was trained through Youth First Rwanda, Lydia began to dream. Now she’s pursuing a future of helping others—and it all started in a classroom where she felt seen and supported.
STRONGER TOGETHER
Lasting change doesn’t happen in isolation. In every story and every success, there’s a shared thread: community. Parents, teachers, local leaders, government partners—and you—working together to create a future where every child can thrive.
This is the heart of what we do together—collaborating within communities to build sustainable, local solutions that put children first.
THANK YOU!
Because of your generosity, more children are walking into classrooms where they feel safe, supported, and free to dream. That kind of transformation shapes not just a student’s experience today, but the future they’ll help create tomorrow.
