Located along the shores of Lake Kivu in the fertile hill region, villagers are primarily agrarian, tending their personal gardens for their family food, and for trade, larger plots of tea, coffee, bananas, and potatoes. This beautiful region is rich in human resources but underdeveloped in the areas of water and essential infrastructure. It is to this region that we are bringing our mission, ministry and resources, working with the community leaders for steady sustainable progress. false false 308918 308918 Health Care:The newest initiative is the program to build and sustain a medical clinic that will bring never before imagined basic medical care to the region. Land for the clinic was purchased in late 2020 and design and engineering of clinic was completed in 2021. Fund raising for the construction of the clinic continued through 2023. Funds were provided for current construction and future staffing and supply costs.The clinic will serve all who need care, regardless of the ability to pay for services. 236985 236985 Education:The six preschools provide early childhood education to impoverished children in the key (5) regions identified within the Boneza Community. The preschools educate over 450 students providing a typical curriculum of activities and instruction to prepare the children for the local government primary schools. Each class has a teacher and assistant trained in early childhood teaching techniques and provides a nurturing environment. In addition, each child receives a nourishing Bowl of Porridge daily to supplement their meals from home. In many cases, this is the most important meal of their day. The classes are housed in local churches and community buildings. Funding is provided for the salaries of the staff, teachers, materials and the feeding program.Kivu Hills Academy, Boneza's first high school, opened in January 2016. During 2023 there were 333 students in high school studying different skills in building construction, networking and internet technology, tourism and hospitality. The curriculum is based on the concept that students can learn and apply their skills while in school. Graduates have started businesses, worked at KHA, worked for other businesses, or have gone on to further education. Their success has been attributed to the well-grounded curriculum, the nurture of the faculty, and the hope they have for their future through education.The school is in session for three terms following the national school calendar. Students who live on campus may go home on weekends or stay on campus. Staff is always available to supervise and mentor students who may extend their school day to fully embrace the educational experience. Students take national exams and proficiency tests before passing onto the next level.Tuition assistance provides an important funding source for students who cannot pay the full tuition. Financial assistance provides the class instructors and workshops for the comprehensive education plus room and board in the dormitory for one full year. Our campaigns to solicit these funds have been successful and involve many donors. KHA continues to strive for self-sustainability through development of the school farm, growing fruits and vegetables and reducing food costs. Also conducting "short courses" funding by the government for unskilled workers in the community. 181468 181468 Administration:Local Rwandan staff support and ensure the mission accomplishments through planning, budgeting and oversight of each project. They prepare annual budgets for the school, community development programs and any special projects identified by the local leaders. The staff prepare financial and program reports and quarterly newsletters. The founder and executive director reports to the USA board of directors and is responsible for providing content and communications with the donors. Both the executive director and the finance director oversee and monitor the funds provided for each program.The community development director works directly with the women's trust groups and the mission coordinator facilitates donor and board member visits to each local program and activities funded by Arise Rwanda Ministries. 28986 28986 756357 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true 2 0 true 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 12 12 true false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true false false false X PAMELA FOGG 5033100465 8333 SE STARK STREET PORTLAND OR 97216 X Larry Rybka Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Gasangwa Executive Dir. 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Heidi Morgan Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bob McClelland Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paul Woods Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Woods Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Knibbe Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Peter Mutabazi Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kevin Denton Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Greg Yancey Chairman 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pamela Fogg Treasurer 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Janet L Roberts Secretary 8.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 614480 614480 0 27 27 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 614507 27 33747 33747 0 722610 722610 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 236 236 0 0 0 1250 1250 0 46 46 180 180 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3091 3091 CREDIT CARD FEES 1041 1041 BANK FEES 750 750 Donor Processing Fees 384 384 Postage and Shipping 311 311 300 150 150 763946 756357 7439 150 377241 0 17320 0 0 9676 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 404237 0 0 0 X 149438 254799 404237 0 404237 0 X -149439 -254798 X false false false X 439141 580968 780123 1142721 614480 3557433 0 0 439141 580968 780123 1142721 614480 3557433 813169 2744264 3 2 2 4 27 38 0 0 3557471 0.77140 0.51450 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true Rwanda Community Developme 210454 Wire Transfe Cash Rwanda Education 236985 Wire Transfe Cash Rwanda Medical Services 275171 Wire Transfe Cash 1 2 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US Review of foreign organizations financial statements, quarterly telephone conferences, email updates and observation by board members with on-site visits to the technical high school, preschools and community projects.
