Women's Co-Op
We work hard to incorporate as much local "man-power" as possible. In this case, however, it is woman-power as Nibakure has partnered with a local women's co-op to complete some of our recent projects onsite!
Village Life
Today, Nibakure is home to 17 former orphans and seven, wonderful caregivers. We also care for an additional 16 kids who live in the surrounding area. We are very blessed.
Sustainability Path
Over the next five years, our goal is to generate 100% of Nibakure’s operating budget through sustainable income sources. Achieving this objective will allow continued growth. One day, Nibakure Village will be home to more than 120 kids at any given time.
Behope
We dream big and ask for your help. We are asking 80 people to pledge support at one of 16 levels, ranging between $1-$30,000. If five gifts are received at each level by the end of 2013, we’ll reach our goal of $544,455.

Mission
Nibakure Village, with the help of the widows of Rwanda, will provide orphaned children with safe housing, a foster family, healthcare, education and career training. Our mission to these children is to “Let Them Grow, Give Them Hope”– Nibakure in Kinyarwanda.
Vision
Develop a vibrant, sustainable village which will house up to 150 children ages 6 years old and up. We focus on the child’s needs holistically through on-site education, healthcare, counseling, spiritual development and career planning.
