About the project
Rwanda Village Community Promoters is a non-profit, youth-led, non-governmental organization run by students at the University of Rwanda. RVCP was founded in 1998 and started field work in the Huye district of southern Province of Rwanda in 2000. Since then, RVCP has expanded its community outreach and activities to include Kigali, eastern and northern Province of Rwanda. Working with students and local volunteers is a key part of the foundation upon which RVCP is built.
Our organization fosters an atmosphere of cultural exchange and skill sharing by working alongside international volunteers. We are currently working on different projects aiming to develop the skills and knowledge of the Anti-HIV/AIDS Clubs in villages in Southern Province of Rwanda and scaling up malaria control interventions and decreasing the number of malaria deaths. Also, we work on gender empowerment and supporting young girls. They are often burdened with household duties such as cooking and caring for younger siblings which leads to their poor performance in schools. At a young age many girls have to deal with lack of self-confidence, unwanted pregnancies and HIV/AIDS infection and are in need of our help. Part of our mission is also improving hygiene and water sanitation in villages by building sanitary installations.
