WE-ACTx for Education

Our Model

Maintaining full accountability and

transparency to our donors is crucial. We

do it by:

- Transfering all school fees directly into the

bank accounts of schools

- Purchasing all school supplies directly and

distributing them to students at collective meetings

with the country coordinator one a trimester

- Conducting frequent audits and monitoring of the breakfast programs administered by our community partners

Recognizing that our students often need more than just school fees alone, we provide the following:

- Breakfast for all kids and pregnant mothers in

supported communities who need it

- Assistance with the annual co-pay for government

health insurance

- Necessary school supplies, like pens, and

pencils for all students and mattresses, soap,

and sanitary pads for secondary students in

boarding schools

By partnering directly with existing communities in Rwanda and in the US and by asking for multi-year

commitments from donors, we:

- Reduce the central administrative burden by

leveraging existing organizational

capacity and infrastructure

- Develop sustainable links that are flexible

and account for the mobility of individuals

- Ensure that once we get kids in school

we keep them there

We believe that when you commit to sponsoring a child your money should

go to that child, not to overhead. To

keep overhead low, we:

- Expect our partner communities in Rwanda

to contribute by providing administrative

support, labor for the breakfast program, etc.

- Rely fully on volunteer support in the Unites

States (both centrally and in our partner

communities)

- Hire only one part time staff member in Rwanda
